Planet Traps and Planetary Cores: Origins of the Planet-Metallicity Correlation
Creators: name: Hasegawa, Yasuhiro
name: Pudritz, Ralph E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Massive exoplanets are observed preferentially around high metallicity ([Fe/H]) stars while low-mass exoplanets do not show such an effect. This so-called planet-metallicity correlation generally favors the idea that most observed gas giants at $r<10$ AU are formed via a core accretion process. We investigate the origin of this phenomenon using a semi-analystical model, wherein the standard core accretion takes place at planet traps in protostellar disks where rapid type I migrators are halted. We focus on the three major exoplanetary populations - hot-Jupiters, exo-Jupiters located at $r \simeq 1$ AU, and the low-mass planets. We show using a statistical approach that the planet-metallicity correlations are well reproduced in these models. We find that there are specific transition metallicities with values [Fe/H]$=-0.2$ to $-0.4$, below which the low-mass population dominates, and above which the Jovian populations take over. The exo-Jupiters significantly exceed the hot-Jupiter population at all observed metallicities. The low-mass planets formed via the core accretion are insensitive to metallicity, which may account for a large fraction of the observed super-Earths and hot-Neptunes. Finally, a controlling factor in building massive planets is the critical mass of planetary cores ($M_{c,crit}$) that regulates the onset of runaway gas accretion. Assuming the current data is roughly complete at [Fe/H]$>-0.6$, our models predict that the most likely value of the "mean" critical core mass of Jovian planets is $\braket{M_{c,crit}} \simeq 5 M_{\oplus}$ rather than $10 M_{\oplus}$. This implies that grain opacities in accreting envelopes should play an important role in lowering $M_{c,crit}$.

FBA and generalized Lotka-Volterra integration for microbial community modeling

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The study of the behavior and dynamics of microbial communities constitutes a big challenge due to the complex metabolisms and interspecies interactions present. This led to the creation of multiple computational models in the hopes of shedding light on this topic. The most commonly used models are based on two different methods: the generic Lotka-Volterra (gLV) and Flux Balance Analysis (FBA). gLV is a simple model based on differential equations that only requires a small set of fixed parameters. The simplicity of this method makes it easy to interpret but at the same time severely limits the representation of complex systems. Several adaptations were proposed to represent some complex mechanisms (cross-feeding, growth saturation, physico-chemical variables, etc), but due to the limited knowledge this method still remains an overly simplification of reality. In contrast to gLV, FBA uses the knowledge we have about metabolic pathways and the environmental compounds to calculate the possible metabolic fluxes and use it to predict the behavior of a microbe. But because there is not much clear data on inter-species metabolic interactions most cases of interactions between bacteria are not predictable. This was addressed with several additions to FBA based methods (game theory, stochastics, multi-objective optimization, etc) but those additions still deal with microbial interactions in indirect ways. It is noticeable that the advantages of each method complement the limitations of the other. In this work gLV and FBA were adapted to work together in synergy in a model so that the metabolic simulation of FBA will complement the lack of metabolic information in gLV and the simple, yet effective, representation of inter-species interaction of gLV will compensate for the lack of information in FBA. This model is able to identify correlation between reactions and metabolites and interactions between species.

The flux suppression at the highest energies
Creators: name: Harari, Diego
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Almost half a century ago, Greisen, Zatsepin and Kuz'min (GZK) predicted a "cosmologically meaningful termination" of the spectrum of cosmic rays at energies around $10^{20}$ eV due to their interaction with the cosmic microwave background, as they propagate from distant extragalactic sources. A suppression of the flux above $4\times 10^{19}$ eV is now confirmed. We argue that current data are insufficient to conclude whether the observed feature is due to energy loss during propagation, or else to the fact that the astrophysical accelerators reach their limit, or indeed to a combination of both source properties and propagation effects. We discuss the dependence of the spectral steepening upon the cosmic-ray composition, source properties, and intervening magnetic fields, and speculate on the additional information that may be necessary to reach unambiguous conclusions about the origin of the flux suppression and of the mechanisms behind the acceleration of cosmic rays up to the highest observed energies.

title: Determinants of risk and disease progression in complex pancreatic disorders
Creators: name: Sheel, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Introduction: Chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic neoplasms and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma represent a spectrum of complex disorders of the pancreas. They share a common ‘early disease phase’ presenting an opportunity for potential screening, earlier detection, and initiation of treatment aiming to prevent disease progression. This includes progression to PDAC. However, these conditions also pose significant diagnostic challenges. 
Aims: to determine risk factors associated with disease progression in chronic pancreatitis and factors associated with an increased risk of developing PDAC, especially in those already at higher risk. Through international collaboration, establish and address challenges restricting future research and clinical trials towards earlier diagnoses. Identify methods of stratifying risk of developing PDAC to allow appropriate allocation of resources and intensiveness of screening to those at the greatest risk of PDAC.
Methods: Pancreas specific clinical databases and disease registries were reviewed, refined, and analysed with view to Identifying potentially relevant risk factors, exploring and describe relationships. Complex mathematical modelling was applied to these clinical datasets to allow further risk stratification of high-risk populations for developing PDAC. A modified Delphi process was adopted to a novel international consensus guideline process from conception through to publication.
Results: Every aspect of this work, including the process of international guideline development, has highlighted the critical role that risk factors play in the diagnosis, the natural history of a condition, and disease progression. This is demonstrated in the CP specific work where we described the resolution of early CP changes at EUS following the withdrawal of risk factor exposure. When analysing individuals with an inherited risk of PDAC, diabetes and smoking were found to be competing risk factors for PDAC development in those with hereditary pancreatitis. 
The EUROPAC FPC secondary screening outcomes identified one PDAC case occurring within the top 10% tier of PDAC risk. 22 BD-IPMNs were identified with equal probability across all risk categories. No high-risk individual within EUROPAC with an individualised family risk score of <30 has ever developed PDAC.
Conclusion: Risk stratification and greater consideration of individualised risk offers the potential to optimise screening for pancreatic cancer through increasing the likelihood of early detection yield whilst mitigating the unavoidable risks associated with screening.
Gauge Invariance and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Two-Gap Superconductors

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The gauge symmetry of the Ginzburg-Landau theory for two-gap superconductors is analyzed in this letter. We argue that the existence of two different phases, associated with the two independent scalar Higgs fields, explicitly breaks the gauge symmetry of the Ginzburg-Landau hamiltonian, unless a new additional vector field is included. Furthermore, the interference term, or Josephson coupling, holding a direct dependence with the phase difference, also explicitly breaks down the gauge symmetry. We show that a solution for the problem is achieved by adding an additional kinetic coupling term between the two vector fields, which generates the desired terms through a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. Finally, the electrodynamics of the system is also presented in terms of the supercurrents inside the superconducting region.

description: The present paper deals with a classification of the parts of speech of the Korean language giving priority to syntactico-functional and distributional criteria, which is considered as useful for the purpose of foreign language teaching. Primary syntactic functions of the different word classes have been determined and the question of conversion (change of parts of speech) as well as entering of equivocal (homonymous) words or word forms, both of the same origin, into different word classes according to their different syntactic features has been discussed. Furthermore, correlations between syntactically defined word classes and their morphological features have been specified. As first step, lexical items have been divided into word classes having sentence value and not having sentence value, respectively. As second step, word classes lacking sentence value have been divided into those capable of functioning as an independent member of sentence and those functioning mainly adjunctionally as constituent of a member of sentence, the former as to their primary or prevailing syntactic functions (i.o. predicates, „actants“, „circonstants“) being subdivided into verbs, nouns and adverbs, respectively, and the latter consisting in adjectives (modifiers). Word classes endowed with sentence value consist of interjections and modal words.

description: We study the estimation of heterogeneous effects of group-level policies, using quantile regression with interactive fixed effects. Our approach can identify distributional policy effects, particularly effects on inequality, under a type of difference-in-differences assumption. We provide asymptotic properties of our estimators and an inferential method. We apply the model to evaluate the effect of the minimum wage policy on earnings between 1967 and 1980 in the United States. Our results suggest that the minimum wage policy has a significant negative impact on the between-inequality but little effect on the within-inequality.

description: The theoretical results are presented showing that strain-induced anisotropy of graphene spectrum gives rise to the valley currents under the illumination by normally incident light. The currents of the two graphene valleys are mutually compensated providing zero net electric current. The magnitude and direction of the valley currents are determined by the parameters of strain and light polarization. For not too high photon energy strain-induced valley current exceed that due to intrinsic warping of the graphene spectrum which suggests feasibility of strain-mediated valleytronics.

description: A novel series of 2/6-aryl/heteroaryl substituted-N-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine analogues have been synthesized from dichloropyrimidines by an initial substitution followed by Suzuki coupling with boronic acids or esters. This sequence has made the process cost-effective. Thus, in the present work, commercially sourced 2,4 and 4,6-dichloropyrimidines were initially condensed with 2-amino-6-trifluoromethylpyridine in the presence of NaH to obtain N-arylated pyrimidin-4-amine analogues. These were transformed to various novel pyrimidine derivatives 2a-2l & 3a-3l via Suzuki coupling using various substituted aryl/heteroaryl boronic acids or boronic esters. These newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR & MS analysis.

description: This paper takes the reader on a journey through the history of Bayesian computation, from the 18th century to the present day. Beginning with the one-dimensional integral first confronted by Bayes in 1763, we highlight the key contributions of: Laplace, Metropolis (and, importantly, his coauthors!), Hammersley and Handscomb, and Hastings, all of which set the foundations for the computational revolution in the late 20th century -- led, primarily, by Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. A very short outline of 21st century computational methods -- including pseudo-marginal MCMC, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, sequential Monte Carlo, and the various `approximate' methods -- completes the paper.
Reconstructing the initial mass function of disc-bulge Galactic globular clusters from N-body simulations

description: We propose an evolutionary model to describe the dynamical evolution of star cluster systems in tidal fields, in which we calibrated the parametric equations defining the model by running direct N-body simulations of star clusters with a wide range of initial masses and set of orbital parameters, living within the external tidal field generated by a disc-like galaxy. We derived a new method to solve numerically the evolutionary equations, allowing us to infer constraints on the mass of a star cluster from its age, present-day mass, orbital parameters and external gravitational potential. The result has been applied to the metal-rich subsample of Galactic globular clusters, being a good representation of a disc-bulge population. We reconstructed the initial mass function of these objects from the present-day mass function, finding that a lognormal distribution is well preserved during the evolution of the globular cluster system. The evolution of a power-law initial mass function has been evaluated, confirming that it transforms into a lognormal distribution of the cluster masses within an Hubble time. Our results are consistent with a formation scenario in which metal-rich Galactic globular clusters formed from giant molecular clouds in high-pressure regions during the early phases of the evolution of the Galactic disc and bulge.

description: We study pairing formation and the appearance of induced spin-triplet p-wave superfluidity in dilute three-dimensional imbalanced Fermi gases in the presence of a uniform non-Abelian gauge field. This gauge field generates a synthetic Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction which has remarkable consequences in the induced p-wave pairing gaps. Without the synthetic gauge field, the p-wave pairing occurs in one of the components due to the induced (second-order) interaction via an exchange of density fluctuations in the other component. We show that this p-wave superfluid gap induced by density fluctuations is greatly enhanced due to the Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling.

description: Information on atomic-scale features is required for a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to magnetism in non-metallic, carbon-based materials. This work reports a direct evaluation of the hyperfine magnetic field produced at 13C nuclei in ferromagnetic graphite by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The experimental investigation was made possible by the results of first-principles calculations carried out in model systems, including graphene sheets with atomic vacancies and graphite nanoribbons with edge sites partially passivated by oxygen. A similar range of maximum hyperfine magnetic field values (18-21T) was found for all systems, setting the frequency span to be investigated in the NMR experiments; accordingly, a significant 13C NMR signal was detected close to this range without any external applied magnetic field in ferromagnetic graphite.

Compound 5f showed most promising anticancer activity with IC50 values 4.68 ± 0.04, 4.16 ± 0.02, 5.40 ± 0.08 µM against the HeLa, MCF-7, and A549 cell lines respectively. Compounds 5b and 5e have also shown excellent anticancer activity with IC50 values 6.07 ± 0.028, 5.30 ± 0.09, 7.16 ± 0.061 µM and 7.56 ± 0.073, 7.20 ± 0.048, 11.30 ± 0.018 µM against the HeLa, MCF-7, and A549 cell lines respectively. The rest of the compounds displayed moderate to good anticancer activity. The tested compounds were nontoxic to normal HEK293 cell lines, and even the more active compounds (5b, 5e, and 5f) also less toxic on HEK-293 cells. Molecular docking results of the synthesized compounds with the target EGFR protein were also discussed.

description: We present results from Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystalline dendrimers (LCDrs) adsorbed on flat, impenetrable substrates. A tractable coarse grained force field for the inter-dendritic and the dendrimer-substrate interactions is introduced. We investigate the conformational and ordering properties of single, end-functionalized LCDrs under homeotropic, random (or degenerate) planar and unidirectional planar aligning substrates. Depending on the anchoring conditions of the mesogenic units of the LCDr and on temperature a variety of stable LCDr states, differing in their topology, are observed and analysed. The influence of the denritic generation and core functionality on the surface-induced ordering of the LCDrs are examined.

The normative underpinnings of Ireland’s proposed regulation of assisted human reproduction
Creators: name: Bracken, Lydia
Publisher: name: University of Limerick

Subjects: classificationCode: 480403
subject: Law and humanities

description: Assisted human reproduction (AHR) challenges traditional understandings of family relationships. Yet, the Irish legislature remains focused on normative constructions of the family and has relied on this understanding as the basis to determine the sort of legal family relationships that it will accom?modate in AHR under the Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022. The result is a Bill that adopts a binary view of reproduction that fails to align with broader legal and social develop?ments. The Bill is also exclusionary as it seeks to limit access to AHR treatment to those families that replicate (or have the potential to replicate) the sexual family form. This article examines the normative underpinnings of the 2022 Bill by analysing the gendered language that is used to refer to different aspects of the reproductive process and by critiquing the provisions that restrict access to AHR treatment for certain intending parents. The article challenges the entrenchment of the sexual family in the legal imagination, arguing that there is a need to rethink the approach adopted in the 2022 Bill to ensure that the proposed legislation will accommodate the diverse range of families who will seek to rely on its provisions.

description: Exact expressions are derived for the pair and three-body hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small particles immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid. The analysis is based on the Stokes equations of low Reynolds number hydrodynamics. The results follow by a combination of the solutions for flow about a sphere with no-slip boundary condition derived by Stokes and Kirchhoff, and the result derived by Oseen for the Green tensor of Stokes' equations in the presence of a fixed sphere.

description: The increasing resistance to antimicrobial drugs has instigated the crucial need for the discovery of novel compounds with different modes of action that could target both sensitive and resistant strains. For this purpose, we developed some new chalcone analogs. Herein, a novel series of hybrid biphenyl chalcones (17-24), which have organohalogens in their B ring, were synthesized and examined for their antimicrobial effect. The position of the substituent on ring B was changed to find the effect of the substitution on antimicrobial activity. Compounds 18, 19, and 24 showed better antibacterial and antifungal activity when compared other compounds. Also, molecular docking studies on ATP binding site of S. aureus DNA gyrase for antibacterial targets were performed to elucidate the mechanism of antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds. Three of the most active compounds could be considered as lead compounds for the development of more new potent agents.

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the nitrogen heterocyclic analogues (N-PAHs) are known to co-exist in environmental samples. Despite the known toxicity in polluted soils, their distribution remains to be elucidated in specific regions. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution PAHs and N-PAHs in soils from the Niger Delta. Physico-chemical analysis shows that Niger Delta soils are calcic, low in cation-exchange capacity (CEC); with ƩPAHs and ƩN-PAHs ranges of 663.9–1,618,821.2 µg/kg and 488.2–3,510.3 µg/kg, respectively. The most abundant PAHs were 2,6-dimethyl-naphthalene and 4,7-phenanthroline. Petrogenic-PAHs dominated the crude oil spill sites; while, pyrogenic-PAHs were abundant in drilling and gas flaring sites. Oil spill sites recorded elevated levels of N-PAHs, with 3-rings and carcinogenic-N-PAHs showing dominance. Furthermore, ƩPAHs and ƩN-PAHs in the oil rich region exceeded the Alberta and Canadian soil quality guidelines and, are also higher than PAHs/N-PAHs studies in literature. Risk assessment based on Benzo[a]pyrene toxic equivalency (TEQ-B[a]Peq) suggests high ecological risks. This is the first study on the occurrence and distribution of PAHs/N-PAHs in the area, and the data could serve a baseline purpose for risk assessment and remediation of contaminated sites.
