description: The current study reveals the synthesis of polymer appended Calix[4]amidocrown-5 with specific binding affinity for iodide at ppm-level. The low detection limits are observed via UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The time-dependent solution and solid-state 127I NMR studies with 18.8 and 19 ppm shifts, indicate a strong sensing nature of resin towards iodide ion. A significant reduction in surface area and pore volume with higher thermostability of resin after iodide uptake indicated iodide inclusion in the amidocrown cavity. The mechanism of iodide sensing may be governed by noncovalent interactions of NH and OH protons present in amidocrown and phenyl ring as observed in terms of emission enhancement in fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding affinity and stoichiometric determinations are determined by Benesi-Hildebrand and Jobs plots, respectively.

description: We describe a global approach to the study of duality transformations between antisymmetric fields with transitions and argue that the natural geometrical setting for the approach is that of gerbes, these objects are mathematical constructions generalizing U(1) bundles and are similarly classified by quantized charges. We address the duality maps in terms of the potentials rather than on their field strengths and show the quantum equivalence between dual theories which in turn allows a rigorous proof of a generalized Dirac quantization condition on the couplings. Our approach needs the introduction of an auxiliary form satisfying a global constraint which in the case of 1-form potentials coincides with the quantization of the magnetic flux. We apply our global approach to refine the proof of the duality equivalence between d=11 supermembrane and d=10 IIA Dirichlet supermembrane.

description: The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been a burden on the worldwide population, with mass fatalities and devastating socioeconomic consequences. It has particularly drawn attention to the lack of approved small-molecule drugs to inhibit SARS coronaviruses. Importantly, lessons learned from the SARS outbreak of 2002-2004, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1), can be applied to current drug discovery ventures. SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 both possess two cysteine proteases, the main protease (Mpro) and the papain-like protease (PLpro), which play a significant role in facilitating viral replication, and are important drug targets. The non-covalent inhibitor, GRL-0617, which was found to inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-1, and more recently SARS-CoV-2, is the only PLpro inhibitor co-crystallised with the recently solved SARS-CoV-2 PLpro crystal structure. Therefore, the GRL-0617 structural template and pharmacophore features are instrumental in the design and development of more potent PLpro inhibitors. In this work, we conducted scaffold hopping using GRL-0617 as a reference to screen over 339,000 ligands in the chemical space using the ChemDiv, MayBridge, and Enamine screening libraries. Twenty-four distinct scaffolds with structural and electrostatic similarity to GRL-0617 were obtained. These proceeded to molecular docking against PLpro using the AutoDock tools. Of two compounds that showed the most favourable predicted binding affinities to the target site, as well as comparable protein-ligand interactions to GRL-0617, one was chosen for further analogue-based work. Twenty-seven analogues of this compound were further docked against the PLpro, which resulted in two additional hits with promising docking profiles. Our in silico pipeline consisted of an integrative four-step approach: (1) ligand-based virtual screening (scaffold-hopping), (2) molecular docking, (3) an analogue search, and, (4) evaluation of scaffold drug-likeness, to identify promising scaffolds and eliminate those with undesirable properties. Overall, we present four novel, and lipophilic, scaffolds obtained from an exhaustive search of diverse and uncharted regions of chemical space, which may be further explored in vitro through structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in the search for more potent inhibitors. Furthermore, these scaffolds were predicted to have fewer off-target interactions than GRL-0617. Lastly, to our knowledge, this work contains the largest ligand-based virtual screen performed against GRL-0617.

description: High-multiplicity pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies have created special importance in view of the Underlying Event (UE) observables. The recent results of LHC, such as long range angular correlation, flow-like patterns, strangeness enhancement etc. in high multiplicity events are not yet completely understood. In the same direction, the understanding of multiplicity dependence of J/$ψ$ production is highly necessary. Transverse spherocity, which is an event shape variable, helps to investigate the particle production by isolating the hard and the soft components. In the present study, we have investigated the multiplicity dependence of J/$ψ$ production at mid-rapidity and forward rapidity through the transverse spherocity analysis and tried to understand the role of jets by separating the isotropic and jetty events from the minimum bias collisions. We have analyzed the J/$ψ$ production at the mid-rapidity and forward rapidities via dielectron and dimuon channels, respectively using 4C tuned PYTHIA8 event generator. The analysis has been performed in two different center-of-mass energies: $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 and 13 TeV, to see the energy dependence of jet contribution to the multiplicity dependence study of J/$ψ$ production. Furthermore, we have studied the production dynamics through the dependence of thermodynamic parameters on event multiplicity and transverse spherocity.

The Effect of Exposure to Noise during Military Service on the Subsequent Progression of Hearing Loss

Subjects: noise-induced hearing loss

description: This paper reviews and re-analyses data from published studies on the effects of noise exposure on the progression of hearing loss once noise exposure has ceased, focusing particularly on noise exposure during military service. The data are consistent with the idea that such exposure accelerates the progression of hearing loss at frequencies where the hearing loss is absent or mild at the end of military service (hearing threshold levels (HTLs) up to approximately 50 dB HL), but has no effect on or slows the progression of hearing loss at frequencies where the hearing loss exceeds approximately 50 dB. Acceleration appears to occur over a wide frequency range, including 1 kHz. However, each of the studies reviewed has limitations. There is a need for further longitudinal studies of changes in HTLs over a wide range of frequencies and including individuals with a range of HTLs and ages at the end of military service. Longitudinal studies are also needed to establish whether the progression of hearing loss following the end of exposure to high-level sounds depends on the type of noise exposure (steady broadband factory noises versus impulsive sounds).
Virial masses of galactic halos from galaxy-galaxy lensing: theoretical modeling and application to SDSS

description: We present a theoretical analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing in the context of halo models with CDM motivated dark matter profiles. The model enables us to separate between the central galactic and noncentral group/cluster contributions. We apply the model to the recent SDSS measurements with known redshifts and luminosities of the lenses. This allows one to accurately model the mass distribution of a local galaxy population around and above $L_{\star}$. We find that virial mass of L* galaxy is M*=(5-10)x10^{11}h^{-1}M_{\sun}, depending on the color of the galaxy. This value varies significantly with galaxy morphology with M* for late types being a factor of 10 lower in u', 7 in g' and a factor of 2.5-3 lower in r', i' and z' relative to early types. Fraction of noncentral galaxies in groups and clusters is estimated to be below 10% for late types and around 30% for early types. Using the luminosity dependence of the signal we find that for early types the virial halo mass M scales with luminosity as M \propto L^1.4 in red bands above L*. This shows that the virial mass to light ratio is increasing with luminosity for galaxies above L*, as predicted by theoretical models. The virial mass to light ratio in i' band is 17(45)hM_{\sun}/L_{\sun} at L* for late (early) types. Combining this result with cosmological baryon fraction one finds that 0.7(0.25)h^{-1}Υ_iΩ_m/12Ω_b of baryons within the virial radius are converted to stars at L*, where Υ_i is the stellar mass to light ratio in i' band. This indicates that both for early and late type galaxies around L* a significant fraction of all the baryons in the halo is transformed into stars.

Non-reciprocal Wave Phenomena in Energy Self-reliant Gyric Metamaterials

description: This work presents a mechanism by which non-reciprocal wave transmission is achieved in a class of gyric metamaterial lattices with embedded rotating elements. A modulation of the device's angular momentum is obtained via prescribed rotations of a set of locally housed spinning motors and are then used to induce space-periodic, time-periodic, as well as space-time-periodic variations which influence wave propagation in distinct ways. Owing to their dependence on gyroscopic effects, such systems are able to break reciprocal wave symmetry without stiffness perturbations rendering them consistently stable as well as energy self-reliant. Dispersion patterns, band gap emergence, as well as non-reciprocal wave transmission in the space-time-periodic gyric metamaterials are predicted both analytically from the gyroscopic system dynamics as well as numerically via time-transient simulations. In addition to breaking reciprocity, we show that the energy content of a frictionless gyric metamaterial is conserved over one temporal modulation cycle enabling it to exhibit a stable response irrespective of the pumping frequency.

description: Background/aims: Cirrhosis is an important risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the surveillance of patients with cirrhosis is, therefore, highly recommended. However, the role of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in HCC surveillance is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the role of AFP in HCC surveillance among patients with cirrhosis. Methods: The study population consisted of 392 patients with cirrhosis. Ultrasound (US) and laboratory tests including AFP were regularly performed to detect HCC development. The cutoff level of AFP for suspicion of HCC was 7 ng/mL. Results: During the median follow-up period of 4.7 (interquartile range, 3.4–5.6) years, HCC developed in 64 (16.3%) patients. Their mean age was 53.6 years, and they were predominantly male (63.5%). For the detection of HCCs, the sensitivity and specificity of US were 56.3% and 100%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of AFP were 62.5% and 94.5%, respectively. Using US and AFP in combination increased the sensitivity of surveillance to 89.1% with a specificity of 94.5%. Mean AFP levels were significantly higher in patients with than without HCC at the time of HCC diagnosis, at 6 months and 12 months before the diagnosis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of AFP was highest at the time of HCC diagnosis (0.867), and also was acceptable at 6 months (0.823) and 12 months (0.792) before the diagnosis. Conclusions: These results suggest the complementary use of AFP and US to improve the effectiveness of HCC surveillance in patients with cirrhosis.

description: Abstract: The structure of the human musculo-skeletal systems shows complex passive dynamic properties, critical for adaptive grasping and motions. Through wrist and arm actuation, these passive dynamic properties can be exploited to achieve nuanced and diverse environment interactions. We have developed a passive anthropomorphic robot hand that shows complex passive dynamics. We require arm/wrist control with the ability to exploit these. Due to the soft hand structures and high degrees of freedom during passive-object interactions, bespoke generation of wrist trajectories is challenging. We propose a new approach, which takes existing wrist trajectories and adapts them to changes in the environment, through analysis and classification of the interactions. By analysing the interactions between the passive hand and object, the required wrist motions to achieve them can be mapped back to control of the hand. This allows the creation of trajectories which are parameterized by object size or task. This approach shows up to 86% improvement in grasping success rate with a passive hand for object size changes up to ±50%.

description: We investigate the possibility that the CP violation due to the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in squark mixing can give significant contributions to the various $γ$ related parameters in B decays, different from those of the Standard Model. We derive the new limits on $(δ^u_{12})_{LL,LR,RR}$ and on $(δ^d_{23})_{LL,LR,RR}$ from the recent data on $D^0$--$\bar{D}^0$ oscillation as well as those on $B_s^0$--$\bar{B_s}^0$ oscillation. We show that, together with all the other constraints, the currents limits on these parameters still allow large contributions to the CP violating phases in $B_s^0$--$\bar{B_s}^0$ as well as $D^0$--$\bar{D}^0$ oscillations which will modify some of the proposed measurements of $γ$ parameters in CP violating B decays. However, the current constraints already dictate that the one-loop squark mixing contributions to various B decay amplitudes cannot be competitive with that of the Standard Model (SM), at least for those B decay modes which are dominated the tree level amplitudes within the SM, and therefore they are not significant in contributing to CP asymmetries in the corresponding B decays.

In particular we show that the states of this Hilbert space do not spread, differently than what happens in quantum mechanics. The role of the phases associated to these classical "wave functions" is analyzed in details. In this framework we also perform the analog of the two-slit experiment and compare it with the quantum case.

Data was generated through in person interview of sampled rural households in the Ethiopian Productive Safety Net area. Descriptive statistics, poverty indices, multiple regression, and simulation techniques were applied. The results identified covariates with statistically significant coefficients. The specific contribution in increasing consumption expenditure and reduction in poverty indices as a result of marginal change in covariates was examined. These specific factors need to be considered in designing poverty reduction strategies depending on magnitude of their contribution.

description: The detection of 22 GHz water vapor emission from IC342 is reported, raising the detection rate among northern galaxies with 100 micron IRAS point source fluxes > 50 Jy to 16%. The maser, associated with a star forming region 10-15 arcsec west of the nucleus, consists of a single 0.5 km/s wide feature and reaches an isotropic luminosity of 0.01 solar luminosity (D = 1.8 Mpc). If the time variability is intrinsic, the maser size is < 1.5 x 10^(16) cm (< 0.5 mas) which corresponds to a brightness temperature of > 10^(9) K. The linewidth, luminosity, and rapid variability are reminiscent of the 8 km/s super maser in Orion-KL. A velocity shift of 1 km/s within two weeks and subsequent rapid fading is explained in terms of a chance alignment of two dense molecular clouds. Observations at 22 GHz toward Maffei2 are also reported, yielding a 5 sigma upper limit of 25 mJy for a channel spacing of 1.05 km/s.

description: We analyse 850um continuum observations of eight massive X-ray detected galaxy clusters at z~0.8-1.6 taken with SCUBA-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We find an average overdensity of 850um-selected sources of a factor of 4+/-2 per cluster within the central 1Mpc compared to the field. We investigate the multiwavelength properties of these sources and identify 34 infrared counterparts to 26 SCUBA-2 sources. Their colours suggest that the majority of these counterparts are probable cluster members. We use the multi-wavelength far-infrared photometry to measure the total luminosities and total cluster star-formation rates demonstrating that they are roughly three orders of magnitude higher than local clusters. We predict the H-band luminosities of the descendants of our cluster submillimetre galaxies and find that their stellar luminosity distribution is consistent with that of passive elliptical galaxies in z~0 clusters. Together, the faded descendants of the passive cluster population already in place at z~1 and the cluster submillimetre galaxies are able to account for the total luminosity function of early-type cluster galaxies at z~0. This suggests that the majority of the luminous passive population in z~0 clusters are likely to have formed at z>>1 through an extreme, dust-obscured starburst event.

description: Root rot is an important disease of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) on the Canadian Prairies. The composition and alternative crop hosts of fungal and oomycete communities colonizing pea residues from Alberta and Manitoba were studied in field trials over two years. Standing pea residues were sampled from diseased and asymptomatic patches of 17 commercial fields in 2013 and 2014 after harvest and again in early spring the following year prior to seeding. The pea residue was ground to a powder and mixed with sterile Cornell potting mix. Plants of pea, wheat, and canola were grown in this mixture under controlled conditions. The root rot severity on each plant was evaluated and sections from diseased roots were plated on agar medium. Fungal and oomycete communities isolated from symptomatic roots were identified based on culture morphology and PCR analysis. About 3000 fungal isolates, belonging to some 50 species, were identified. Canola was less susceptible to infection than pea or wheat. Fusarium avenaceum (Fr.) Sacc. was the most abundant species infecting the three hosts; F. culmorum (Wm.G.Sm.) Sacc. and Bipolaris sorokiana (Sacc.) Shoemaker were more frequently isolated from wheat, and F. solani (Mart.) Sacc., F. oxysporum Schlecht. and Aphanomyces euteiches Drechsler were more frequently isolated from pea. Pathogen communities from asymptomatic and diseased patches of fields were similar. Overall, composition of the fungal community changed over winter, but the most abundant species did not change. The results show that multiple pathogens, and particularly Fusarium spp., can survive overwinter on pea residue.

description: Commodity markets work well in the U.S. because they standardize the products being sold. Using hedonic pricing models, this paper investigates the quality attributes that make soybeans differentiated across the U.S. and the possible implications that quality adjusted prices may have in today’s markets. A hedonic model was tested using soybean prices from 2004 to 2013 to adjust for quality. A test was then conducted to show the price change over time due to quality changes in soybeans. Results show that quality-adjusted pricing may affect forecasting and hedging with stronger correlations computed between futures prices and quality adjusted prices than futures prices and observed prices.

anti-apoptotic proteins

description: BH3-mimetics targeting anti-apoptotic proteins such as MCL-1 (S63845) or BCL-2 (venetoclax) are currently being evaluated as effective therapies for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Interleukin 6, produced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), has been shown to modify the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins and their interaction with the pro-apoptotic BIM protein in MM cells. In this study, we assess the efficacy of S63845 and venetoclax in MM cells in direct co-culture with MSCs derived from MM patients (pMSCs) to identify additional mechanisms involved in the stroma-induced resistance to these agents. MicroRNAs miR-193b-3p and miR-21-5p emerged among the top deregulated miRNAs in myeloma cells when directly co-cultured with pMSCs, and we show their contribution to changes in MCL-1 and BCL-2 protein expression and in the activity of S63845 and venetoclax. Additionally, direct contact with pMSCs under S63845 and/or venetoclax treatment modifies myeloma cell dependence on different BCL-2 family anti-apoptotic proteins in relation to BIM, making myeloma cells more dependent on the non-targeted anti-apoptotic protein or BCL-XL. Finally, we show a potent effect of the combination of S63845 and venetoclax even in the presence of pMSCs, which supports this combinatorial approach for the treatment of MM.

description: This paper focuses on forecasting US high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) prices using a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model. We use both monthly and quarterly data to forecast HFCS prices for the 1994–2015 period. We perform the Augmented Dickey–Fuller test for ensuring that the HFCS prices are stationary. We use mean absolute error, in–sample root mean square error, and out–of–sample root mean square error for evaluating the predictive accuracy of the models. Based on the out–of–sample performance, we found that the quarterly model performed well in predicting HFCS prices compared to monthly model. The results will help make better decision concerning the operation of corn-wet milling plant and HFCS production.

description: Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) multi-cellular aggregates hold important applications in tissue engineering and in vitro biological modeling. Probing the intrinsic forces generated during the aggregation process, could open up new possibilities in advancing the discovery of tissue mechanics-based biomarkers. We use individually suspended, and tethered gelatin hydrogel microfibers to guide multicellular aggregation of brain cancer cells (glioblastoma cell line, U87), forming characteristic cancer ‘ellipsoids’. Over a culture period of up to 13 days, U87 aggregates evolve from a flexible cell string with cell coverage following the relaxed and curly fiber contour; to a distinct ellipsoid-on-string morphology, where the fiber segment connecting the ellipsoid poles become taut. Fluorescence imaging revealed the fiber segment embedded within the ellipsoidal aggregate to exhibit a morphological transition analogous to filament buckling under a compressive force. By treating the multicellular aggregate as an effective elastic medium where the microfiber is embedded, we applied a filament post-buckling theory to model the fiber morphology, deducing the apparent elasticity of the cancer ellipsoid medium, as well as the collective traction force inherent in the aggregation process.

description: Semiconductors, a significant type of material in the information era, are becoming more and more powerful in the field of quantum information. In the last decades, semiconductor quantum computation was investigated thoroughly across the world and developed with a dramatically fast speed. The researches vary from initialization, control and readout of qubits, to the architecture of fault tolerant quantum computing. Here, we first introduce the basic ideas for quantum computing, and then discuss the developments of single- and two- qubit gate control in semiconductor. Till now, the qubit initialization, control and readout can be realized with relatively high fidelity and a programmable two-qubit quantum processor was even demonstrated. However, to further improve the qubit quality and scale it up, there are still some challenges to resolve such as the improvement of readout method, material development and scalable designs. We discuss these issues and introduce the forefronts of progress. Finally, considering the positive trend of the research on semiconductor quantum devices and recent theoretical work on the applications of quantum computation, we anticipate that semiconductor quantum computation may develop fast and will have a huge impact on our lives in the near future.

PP-waves and logarithmic conformal field theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We provide a world-sheet interpretation to the plane wave limit of a large class of exact supergravity backgrounds in terms of logarithmic conformal field theories. As an illustrative example, we consider the two-dimensional conformal field theory of the coset model SU(2)_N/U(1) times a free time-like boson U(1)_{-N}, which admits a space-time interpretation as a three-dimensional plane wave solution by taking a correlated limit à la Penrose. We show that upon a contraction of Saletan type, in which the parafermions of the compact coset model are combined with the free time-like boson, one obtains a novel logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c=3. Our results are motivated at the classical level using Poisson brackets of the fields, but they are also explicitly demonstrated at the quantum level using exact operator product expansions. We perform several computations in this theory including the evaluation of the four-point functions involving primary fields and their logarithmic partners, which are identified. We also employ the extended conformal symmetries of the model to construct an infinite number of logarithmic operators. This analysis can be easily generalized to other exact conformal field theory backgrounds with a plane wave limit in the target space.

description: At present, China is facing a serious problem of financial exclusion in rural areas, which restricts the development of rural economy and even the comprehensive, balanced and sustainable development of the overall real economy. From the perspective of regional differences in Gansu and Jiangsu provinces and between these two provinces, this paper establishes the Index of Rural Financial Exclusion, and explores the relationship between the refined indicators. Combining the economic theory, this paper uses double logarithmic models to analyze empirically on the relationship between the balance of loans per person and two factors: the density of branches with respect to population and GDP per capita and then compares these two models. We use this model to discuss the driving factor that can help to alleviate rural financial exclusion in different regions. In this paper, comparative analysis, theoretical analysis, empirical analysis, qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis are methods used to analyze the statistical data issued by the China Banking Regulatory Commission. This paper integrates the analyses of rural financial exclusion in provinces and between provinces, and comes to these conclusions about the rural financial exclusion problem of Gansu Province and Jiangsu Province in micro and macro level: (1) the forms of rural financial difference between areas are diverse. The degree of financial exclusion in Gansu are higher than that in Jiangsu, (2) the policy-related loans issued in Gansu are effective, (3) deposits absorbed in areas that are highly financial excluded flow to the regions facing relatively slighter exclusion. The capital allocation function of rural financial markets in Gansu should be improved, (4) two indicators, balance of loans per capita and the number of financial institution branches per 10,000 populations, are positively related. If the number of financial institutions branches in Gansu Province is increased, the balance of credit per capita will be increased, further, it will alleviate rural financial exclusion effectively.
