description: Histone deacetylases (HDAC) are involved in several diseases including cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, and the search for inhibitors is a current topic in drug discovery. Four HDAC inhibitors have already been approved by the FDA for cancer therapy and others are under clinical studies. However, the clinical utility of some of them is limited because of unfavorable toxicities associated with their broad range of HDAC inhibitory effects. Toxicity could be decreased by using HDAC inhibitors with improved specificity. To date, the most popular screening assays are based on fluorescence-labeled substrates incubated with an enzymatic source (cells extracts or recombinant isoforms). Here, we describe a high-throughput cell-based UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS assay able to rapidly predict activity against HDAC1 and HDAC6 in a cell environment. This method is predicted to be a useful tool to accelerate the search for class-selective HDAC inhibitors in drug discovery.

description: Objective Bone marrow (BM) examination is recommended as part of the initial staging work-up in patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. However, the clinical significance of BM involvement in gastric MALT lymphoma patients has not been evaluated. Materials and methods From November 1995 to September 2014, 496 subjects who were diagnosed with gastric MALT lymphoma and underwent BM examination were eligible to be included in this study. BM involvement was found in 33 patients (6.7%) by retrospective review, and after exclusions, the clinical outcomes of 28 patients with BM involvement and 412 patients without BM involvement were evaluated. Results When comparing the characteristics of patients, age (median 60 vs. 53 years, p = 0.007) and Helicobacter pylori infection rate (71.0% vs. 85.5%, p = 0.040) were different between patients with and without BM involvement, while the location, macroscopic findings, and depth of invasion were similar. The overall complete remission (CR) rate was 85.2% during a median follow-up period of 42 months (interquartile range, 23–66 months) and did not differ between the two groups (78.6 and 85.7%, p = 0.280). Eradication therapy was performed as the first-line treatment in 18 of the 28 patients (64.3%) with BM involvement, and CR was achieved in 13 patients (72.2%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age and location in the upper part of the stomach were factors related to remission failure. Conclusion Gastric MALT lymphoma has a favorable outcome, and eradication therapy can be justified in selected cases even with BM involvement, when these patients are closely monitored.

description: N-acetyl l-cysteine (NAC), the substrate used presently has got diverse medicinal applications and is widely used as a mucolytic agent. The oxidation of bioactive molecules, in general, involves metal ion catalysis facilitated by the participation of metal nanoparticles. In view of this, the oxidation of NAC by a phenothiazine dye methylene blue (MB), a model electron receptor, catalyzed by Ru(III) in the absence and in the presence of Cu(II) has been investigated in acidic medium. The concentration order in MB is zero, while the order in NAC is one and two in Ru(III)-catalyzed and Ru(III)-Cu(II)-catalyzed reactions, respectively. Hydrogen ions retard the rate in Ru(III)-Cu(II)-catalyzed reaction, whereas the rate increases linearly with increasing [Ru(III)] in both the systems. The rate increases with increasing [Cu(II)] and attains a limiting value. The addition of the reaction products does not affect the rate of reaction. The reaction is characterized by a large negative entropy of activation. The kinetic deviations of the reaction, explained by presuming the participation of a reactive form of the NAC molecule or its new conformational polymorph reported recently, indicate the regulatory influence of the morphology of nanoparticles.

description: Accurate extraction of large-area urban built-up areas is of significant importance for urban development and map updating. Traditional methods relying on remote sensing imagery and deep learning exhibit low data utilization during the model training phase and significant discrepancies between extraction accuracy in application scenarios and during training, posing challenges in practical applications. In response to these issues, this paper proposes an urban built-up area extraction method based on deep learning semantic segmentation technology and large-size remote sensing imagery. This method, grounded in the sliding window theory, introduces the Overlapping Cutting and Joining (OCJ) approach. Within the OCJ method, this paper develops the Overlapping Cutting (OC) module to increase the quantity and richness of training samples. In application scenarios, the OC and Overlapping Joining (OJ) modules are utilized to circumvent large-size cross-sampling, thereby preserving original image information and enhancing segmentation accuracy. Additionally, to eliminate stitching seams and optimize detailed segmentation effects, this paper proposes the HCBM-DenseCRF method, which employs DenseCRF to eliminate stitching seams while utilizing the Hard Constraint Buffer Mechanism (HCBM) to protect complex built-up area foreground extraction results from destruction, achieving high-precision urban built-up area extraction. This paper takes the Xception-PSPNet deep learning semantic segmentation model as the base model instance and compares it with four widely used models and three ablation models, including the initial Xception-PSPNet model. OCJ-HCBM-DenseCRF achieved superior results compared to other methods across smaller, medium, and larger remote sensing image instances, particularly leading other models by 1.1%-47.3% on larger-size imagery, with a precision decrement of only 1%-2% across the three sizes. This indicates the high application value of the proposed method in the extraction of large-size imagery.

description: Targeting of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) like somatostatin-14 (SST-14) could have a potential interest in delivery of anti-cancer agents to tumor cells. Attachment of SST to different nano-carriers e.g. polymeric nanoparticles is limited due to the difficulty of interaction between SST itself and those nano-carriers. Furthermore, the instability problems associated with the final formulation. Attaching of SST to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the positive and negative charge of SST and citrate-AuNPs could be considered a new technique to get stable non-aggregated AuNPs coated with SST. Different analyses techniques have been performed to proof the principle of coating between AuNPs and SST. Furthermore, cellular uptake studies on HCC-1806, HELA and U-87 cell lines has been investigated to show the ability of AuNPs coated SST to enter the cells via SST receptors. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) indicated a successful coating of SST on the MUA-AuNPs surface. Furthermore, all the performed analysis including DLS, SDS-PAGE and UV-VIS absorption spectra indicated a successful coating of AuNPs with SST. Cellular uptake studies on HCC-1806, HELA and U-87 cell lines showed that the number of AuNPs-SST per cell is signiflcantly higher compared to citrate-AuNPs when quantified using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. Moreover, the binding of AuNPs-SST to cells can be suppressed by addition of antagonist, indicating that the binding of AuNPs-SST to cells is due to receptor-specific binding. In conclusion, AuNPs could be attached to SST via adsorption to get stable AuNPs coated SST. This new formulation has a potential to target SST receptors localized in many normal and tumor cells.

description: Thesystematics of the genus Gobio, especially of the populations on the southern Black Sea coast, seems to be still far from being resolved. Seven species were rec-orded from the northern Black Sea coast while three species were recognized from the southern Black Sea coast. We examined in total 43 specimens from Kızılırmak River (southern Black Sea basin), 80 specimens from Çoruh River (the Western Cau-casus of the Black Sea basin), 14 specimens from Rioni River (the Western Caucasus of the Black Sea basin), and 6 specimens from Kherota and Shakhe Rivers (the Western Caucasus of the Black Sea basin). Based on an analysis of 32 metric and 5 meristic data as well as the number of vertebrae, we concluded that the Kızılırmak and Coruh populations are two distinct, unnamed species, and we describe them here as Gobio kizilirmakensis from the Kızılırmak River and G. artvinicus from the Çoruh River. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1ED54FB1-588F-4412-B376-4BE4E4516EB1

description: Background: Susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered (SEIR) models are increasingly developed and used, but their simplicity contrasts with the wide variety of scenarios before launching vaccination campaigns. Methods: We investigated the effects of some model-building choices (targets, pace, coverage rate) on the results of SEIR models in the case of vaccination against varicella and herpes zoster. Results: The analysis demonstrated the need for a progressive unvaccinated to vaccinated transition and a dynamic system-equilibrium before vaccination onset. When several doses are considered, new compartments are needed to account for vaccination histories. For varicella, the delay to reach the expected coverage rate and the pace until reaching this rate have significant impacts, especially on the short-term incidence. The impact of vaccination through herd immunity should be systematically investigated. Conclusions: Graphs help understanding the progress of instantaneous incidence; however, tables of cumulative average incidence over decades should be preferred because of higher stability.
The Effect of Arousal on Earwitness Identification
Creators: name: Suiter, Traci L.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2000

description: This study reports on the effect of arousal on earwitness identification. While performing a cover task, thirty-nine subjects (32 females and seven males) heard a series
 of utterances in one of three voice tones (positive, neutral, or hostile). Subjects were
 immediately presented with a six-voice lineup. All subjects were tested immediately after hearing the target voice, and a subgroup of the subjects (21: 14 females, seven males) were also tested after a one-week delay. In addition to the identification lineup,
 subjects gave the reason for their decision, their confidence level, their arousal level when initially hearing the target voice, height and weight estimates of the target voice, and any personality and physical characteristics they could ascribe to the voice they chose from the lineup. Eight correct identifications were obtained. The only significant results obtained were for height estimates between the Neutral Tone and Hostile Tone
 conditions and between the Neutral and Positive Tone conditions. The tone of the voice and the level of arousal had no significant effect on identification accuracy, and there was no significant correlation between the level of confidence and identification accuracy. Subjects reported using process of elimination to match the target voice to the voice they chose from the lineup, and they ascribed more physical than personality characteristics to the voice they chose from the lineup.

description: Objective: Self-help interventions are followed by people independently with minimal or no therapist contact. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of self-help interventions for adults with chronic tinnitus and systematically identify the self-help techniques used. Design: Systematic review and application of health psychology taxonomies. Electronic database searches were conducted, supplemented by citation searching and hand-searching of key journals. Prospective controlled trials, which used measures of tinnitus distress, functional management, anxiety, depression, and quality of life, were included. Michie et al’s behaviour change techniques (BCTs) taxonomy and Taylor et al’s PRISMS taxonomy of self-management components were applied to describe interventions. Study sample: Five studies were included, providing low-to-moderate levels of evidence. Results: Randomized controlled trial studies were too few and heterogeneous for meta-analysis to be performed. Studies comparing self-help interventions to therapist-guided interventions and assessing non tinnitus-specific psychosocial outcomes and functional management were lacking. Fifteen BCTs and eight self-management components were identified across interventions. Conclusions: A lack of high-quality and homogeneous studies meant that confident conclusions could not be drawn regarding the efficacy of self-help interventions for tinnitus. Better reporting and categorization of intervention techniques is needed for replication in research and practice and to facilitate understanding of intervention mechanisms.

Vowel Harmony and Vowel-to-Vowel Co articulation in Three Dialects of Yoruba
Creators: name: Przezdziecki, Marek
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2000

description: I explore the similarities between phonological vowel harmony and phonetic vowel-to-vowel
 coarticulation by examining the vowels in three dialects of Yoruba: Standard Yoruba, Moba, and Akure. While they all exhibit some degree of A TR vowel harmony, only Alane exhibits a vowel harmony in the high vowels. I compare the acoustic characteristics of the vowel harmony in the high vowels of Akure, with the co articulatory properties in parallel environments in the non-harmonizing dialects. In Akure, the high vowel pairs exhibit a large difference in Fl between the +ATR and -ATR vowels as expected; in SY and MQba, where there is no phonological split, the high vowel pairs also exhibit a split in FI in the same direction as the contrast found in Akur~, though crucially much smaller and less distinct. These findings support the conclusion that vowel harmony has its origins in vowel-to-vowel coarticulation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

The Prosodic Structure of Carib
Creators: name: Fricke, Travis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2000

description: This paper seeks to provide a unified account of stress and related processes in Carib (Hoff 1968) by making use of prosodic phonology and Optimality Theory. Previous prosodic analyses of Carib (Visch 1996, van der Hulst and Visch 1992, Inkelas 1989, and van de Vijver 1998) have attempted to explain its complicated prosodic processes, but not only do these accounts conflict with each other, none have succeeded in unifying the stress assignment phenomena with a single, concise explanation. Central to the discussion in this paper is the idea of the "stress window", where stress assignment and
 various related processes are limited to a particular subpart of the word. These processes can be limited to the appropriate domain in Carib if Carib prosodic structure contains a colon layer between the foot and prosodic word layers. This allows for a single explanation for several related processes of Carib phonology.

description: Objective: Self-help interventions are followed by people independently with minimal or no therapist contact. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of self-help interventions for adults with chronic tinnitus and systematically identify the self-help techniques used. Design: Systematic review and application of health psychology taxonomies. Electronic database searches were conducted, supplemented by citation searching and hand-searching of key journals. Prospective controlled trials, which used measures of tinnitus distress, functional management, anxiety, depression, and quality of life, were included. Michie et al’s behaviour change techniques (BCTs) taxonomy and Taylor et al’s PRISMS taxonomy of self-management components were applied to describe interventions. Study sample: Five studies were included, providing low-to-moderate levels of evidence. Results: Randomized controlled trial studies were too few and heterogeneous for meta-analysis to be performed. Studies comparing self-help interventions to therapist-guided interventions and assessing non tinnitus-specific psychosocial outcomes and functional management were lacking. Fifteen BCTs and eight self-management components were identified across interventions. Conclusions: A lack of high-quality and homogeneous studies meant that confident conclusions could not be drawn regarding the efficacy of self-help interventions for tinnitus. Better reporting and categorization of intervention techniques is needed for replication in research and practice and to facilitate understanding of intervention mechanisms.
Phonetic priming of features in a shadowing task
Creators: name: Doeleman, Tobey L.

description: The role of features in speech perception was investigated in a series of priming experiments in which subjects shadowed CV syllables consisting of the English consonants [p, b, t, d, f, v, s, z] followed by the vowel [a]. Natural tokens were used to create sixty-four prime-target pairs which varied critically the number of features the consonants shared (0-3) and the type of featural similarity. Subjects were asked to repeat
 the target syllables from aurally presented prime-target pairs as fast as possible. Patterns of speech onset latencies and accuracy data were compared for the different featural similarity conditions. The results indicate that there is inhibitory phonetic priming of specific place and manner features but that the influences of the prime and target features are more complex than simple shared activation of a particular feature. Results are also discussed with reference to previous [mdings from a series of gating experiments (using
 the same stimulus set manipulation) which found that subjects given place information had significantly higher scores in a consonant identification task than subjects given manner information (Doeleman, 1998).

An OT Account of Coalescence and Compensatory Lengthening in Dhivehi (Maldivian)
Creators: name: Cain, Bruce D.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2000

description: Dhivehi exhibits coalescence and compensatory lengthening when vowel-initial suffixes are added to stems ending in Iii. The consonant preceding the Iii determines the type of coalescence that takes place. Only dentals get palatalized (e.g., rodi 'thread', rodd3-ek 'a thread'), but labials and velars allow the Iii to coalesce with the nucleus of the preceding syllable to form an off-glide (e.g., boki, boykk-ek 'a bulb'). In either case, the consonant must geminate if Iii coalesces. Coalescence and gemination cannot take place if the syllable preceding Iii is closed, or if the preceding consonant is retroflex (e.g., bon!i, bonti-y-ek 'an unopened palm frond'; baqi baqi-y-ek 'a gun'). I demonstrate that this data requires a feature geometry that depicts the coronals' opacity effects in relation
 to Iii. Given that, I show how constraints dealing with syllable structure, coalescence, and compensatory lengthening interrelate to account for the Dhivehi data within the framework of Optimality Theory.

description: Household energy consumption and indoor air pollution have caused significant environmental and health issues. However, previous studies have mainly focused on energy sources, overlooking differences in their impact based on the rural-urban divide, especially in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. This study conducted a comparative analysis of energy consumption and indoor air pollution between rural and urban households in Bayelsa State, using energy choice theory as the framework. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, with a sample of 1004 households drawn from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS): 266 urban and 738 rural households. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Chi-Square tests at P<0.05. The average age of household heads was 44.64±16.02 years in urban areas and 44.29±15.82 years in rural areas. The results showed that more rural households (59.3%) used wood for cooking, while kerosene use was higher in urban areas (39.1%). Urban households also had a greater proportion (24.8%) of those cooking indoors than rural households (16.1%). There was a statistically significant relationship between energy use and indoor air pollution in rural (x²=195.705) and urban (x²=97.12) households. The study concluded that households without a separate kitchen, regardless of location, are at greater risk of indoor air pollution. It was recommended that stakeholders raise awareness of the importance of separate kitchens and support the adoption of cleaner cooking fuels.
Coda Constraints and Conditions on Moraic Projection
Creators: name: Zec, Draga

description: In this paper compensatory lengthening is accounted for by invoking the mechanism of mora
 projection. In the containment model of Optimality Theory, in which this paper is couched, any input segment is contained in the output; if this segment is phonetically unrealized, it may nonetheless exert influence on the shape of the output, as an unparsed segment. Here we explore cases in which a moraic position is projected by an unparsed segment, and filled by a parsed segment which is not responsible for mora projection, thus leading to compensatory lengthening. The unparsed segment is "deleted" in order to avoid constraint violation; here we focus on coda constraints and their interaction with compensatory lengthening. We present three cases of compensatory lengthening, Pali, Japanese and Piro, addressing also the issue of mora projection as related to possible mora fillers in a language, based on the Italian facts. While the conclusions of this paper are not tenable within the correspondence model of Optimality Theory (McCarthy and Prince 1995), we include it in this volume because certain aspects of our findings do not crucially depend on the framework in which this study has been framed.

description: Ecological Designers differ from conventional designers in their ability to take a holistic methodological approach to address challenging issues as complex or wicked problems. In working with a trans-disciplinary team, an Ecological Designer must be able to manage different ways of seeing and knowing to bridge the gap between disciplines. Must the Ecological Designer have intimate knowledge of all the literature –research papers, articles, books– of all the philosophies and sciences that need to be taken into account when addressing a given challenge? A lifetime would not be enough to scratch the surface of a fraction of such a large body of knowledge. Is there a tool, then, that can prevent people who strive to become holistic thinkers from drowning in a vast ocean of written material?
In this dissertation, I propose Analography as a method of diagramming that, when used as a communication tool, can aid in handling complex concepts in a manner that facilitates the Ecological Designer’s practice and re-combinations, all for the benefit of oneself, team-work or any curious bookworm.

description: Objectives: The aim of the present study was to generate a novel method for predicting the clinical response to infliximab (IFX), using a machine-learning algorithm with only clinical data obtained before the treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods: We obtained 32 variables out of the clinical data on the patients from two independent hospitals. Next, we selected both clinical parameters and machine-learning algorithms and decided the candidates of prediction method. These candidates were verified by clinical variables on different patients from two other hospitals. Finally, we decided the prediction method to achieve the highest score. Results: The combination of multilayer perceptron algorithm (neural network) and nine clinical parameters shows the best accuracy performance. This method could predict the good or moderate response to IFX with 92% accuracy. The sensitivity of this method was 96.7%, while the specificity was 75%. Conclusions: We have developed a novel method for predicting the clinical response using only background clinical data in RA patients before treatment with IFX. Our method for predicting the response to IFX in RA patients may have advantages over the other previous methods in several points including easy usability, cost-effectiveness and accuracy.
