description: Since no comprehensive study has been conducted on blood pressure (BP) percentiles established upon nationally representative sample population of adults, the present study aimed to construct the blood pressure percentiles by age, sex and body mass index (BMI) of the subjects. Analyses were based on data collected in 2011 from 8,425 adults aged 25 to 69 years old. Data on demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, and blood pressure was recorded for each subject. Linear Regression analysis was used to assess the adjusted relationship of age-sex-specific standard deviation scores of BMI, height, and weight with blood pressure. Four separate models for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of men and women were constructed for BP percentiles according to age and BMI. Blood pressure increased with the rise in BMI and weight, but showed a negative correlation with height. SBP and DBP rose steadily with increasing age, but the rise in SBP was greater than DBP. Overweight and obese population, seem to fall into the category of hypertensive. The findings of present study show that BP percentiles are steadily increased by age and BMI. In addition, most obese or overweight adults are hypertensive.

description: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is defined as a range of conditions which the blood flow to the heart was reduced or stopped. This disorder is correlated to a systemic inflammatory response and some biochemical factors. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigations of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and uric acid levels in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTE ACS), as common subtypes of ACS. Patients with ACS (n = 140) were assessed with coronary arteriography and divided into STEMI and NSTE ACS groups. The serum levels of hs-CRP and uric acid were investigated using a routine clinical chemistry analyzer. Patients with STEMI showed a significant increase in uric acid level compared to those with NSTE ACS (P < .0001). Other data indicated that hs-CRP level in patients with STEMI was significantly higher than individuals with NSTE ACS (P < .0001). Modeling analysis revealed that the increased levels of acid uric and hs-CRP in patients with STEMI were independent of the effects of age, gender, background diseases, and familial history (P < .001). The current study provides further evidence to indicate that hs-CRP and uric acid may be considered as biofactors for comparing STEMI from NSTE ACS and determining disease outcome.

description: L’apprentissage du vocabulaire allemand est un défi quotidien pour de nombreux élèves, en particulier ceuxcelles de la voie générale. En proposant des manières variées et motivantes de travailler le vocabulaire en classe, les enseignantes peuvent soutenir leurs élèves dans cette tâche. Plusieurs recherches prônent les bienfaits du mouvement sur les apprentissages. En Suisse, l’office fédéral du sport a créé le programme L’école bouge en 2005 dans le but de promouvoir l’activité physique dans les écoles. La présente étude s’intéresse plus particulièrement à l’apprentissage du vocabulaire allemand en mouvement. Le but de cette recherche est de savoir si des ateliers d’apprentissage du vocabulaire, dans lesquels les élèves sont debout et actifs physiquement, permettent une meilleure mémorisation du vocabulaire à court et à plus long terme, mais également si le mouvement a une influence bénéfique sur l’orthographe. L’étude a été menée sur un semestre avec cinq classes de 9VG d’un établissement secondaire vaudois. Dans un premier temps, les élèves ont appris une série de vocabulaire et une série de verbes de manière traditionnelle. Ensuite, ils ont appris une série de verbes et une série de vocabulaire en participant à divers ateliers en mouvement. Chaque série était l’objet d’un ETA (élément de travail assimilé) et pour chacune des séries, les élèves ont rempli une liste de contrôle vérifiant 12 mots/verbes. Cette liste était complétée deux fois : une fois avant le test, lors de la leçon avec les ateliers en mouvement, et une fois une semaine après le test. Nous avons ainsi pu comparer le nombre de mots mémorisés avec chaque type d’apprentissage sur le court et le long terme. Si les résultats obtenus avec les séries de vocabulaire sont ambivalents, ceux concernant les verbes mettent clairement en évidence les bénéfices d’un apprentissage en mouvement. Les chiffres montrent également des effets positifs sur l’orthographe, même si ceux-ci restent difficiles à expliquer. De manière plus globale, ce travail encourage les enseignantes de langues à varier les approches lors de la révision du vocabulaire en classe et à inclure le mouvement dans celles-ci.

description: Stochastic boundary conditions for interactions with a particle reservoir are discussed in many-particle systems. We introduce the boundary conditions with the injection rate and the momentum distribution of particles coming from a particle reservoir in terms of the pressure and the temperature of the reservoir. It is shown that equilibrium ideal gases and hard-disk systems with these boundary conditions reproduce statistical-mechanical properties based on the corresponding grand canonical distributions. We also apply the stochastic boundary conditions to a hard-disk model with a steady particle current escaping from a particle reservoir in an open tube, and discuss its nonequilibrium properties such as a chemical potential dependence of the current and deviations from the local equilibrium hypothesis.

description: In Corsica Island (France), a belt of metamorphic continental units derived from the European margin is exposed at the western rim of the Alpine Corsica. This study provides a complete anatomy of one of these units (Tour de Valletto Unit) consisting of a Palaeozoic basement covered by an Early Jurassic – late Eocene sedimentary succession. This unit records a polyphase tectono-metamorphic history acquired during the late Eocene – lower early Miocene convergence processes involving the Adria and Europe continental plates. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we reconstructed in detail the P-T path of the Tour de Valletto Unit. The path shows a metamorphic climax at blueschist facies conditions suggesting that the unit was accreted at c. 40 km of depth. After its accretion, the Tour de Valletto Unit was exhumed up to the Earth surface following a path characterized by an increase of temperature and a decrease of pressure. The reconstructed tectono-metamorphic history of the Tour de Valletto Unit is compared with those of the other continental units located in western Alpine Corsica to discuss the exhumation processes active during continental subduction.

description: Sphingosine-1 phosphate (S1P) is involved in a variety of cellular processes via activation of S1P receptors (S1PRs; S1PR1 to S1PR5) that are highly expressed in the brain. It has been shown that the level of S1P is reduced in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, there is no study designed to evaluate the expression of S1PRs in AD brains. The objectives of the present work are (1) to examine the expression of S1PR1-3 in the hippocampus of beta amyloid (Aβ) 1-42 injected rats and (2) to clarify the effects of chronic S1PR1 activation on S1PR1-3 levels, spatial memory deficit and hippocampal damage in AD rats. SEW2871, the S1PR1 selective agonist, repeatedly was injected intraperitoneally during a period of two weeks. Upon Western Blot data bilateral intrahippocampal injection of Aβ1-42 decreased the expression of S1PR1 while increased S1PR2 level and did not affect that of S1PR3. We found that chronic administration of SEW2871 inhibited the reduction of S1PR1 expression and ameliorated spatial memory impairment in the Morris water maze task in rats. In addition, SEW 2871 attenuated the Aβ1-42-induced hippocampal neuronal loss according to Nissl staining findings. Data in the current study high lights the importance of S1PR1 signaling pathway deregulation in AD development and suggests that activation of S1PR1 may represent a potential approach for developing new therapeutics to manage memory deficit and apoptosis associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as AD.

description: Chiral anomalies give rise to dissipationless transport phenomena such as the chiral magnetic and vortical effects. In these notes I review the theory from a quantum field theoretic, hydrodynamic and holographic perspective. A physical interpretation of the otherwise somewhat obscure concepts of consistent and covariant anomalies will be given. Vanishing of the CME in strict equilibrium will be connected to the boundary conditions in momentum space imposed by the regularization. The role of the gravitational anomaly will be explained. That it contributes to transport in an unexpectedly low order in the derivative expansion can be easiest understood via holography. Anomalous transport is supposed to play also a key role in understanding the electronics of advanced materials, the Dirac- and Weyl (semi)metals. Anomaly related phenomena such as negative magnetoresistivity, anomalous Hall effect, thermal anomalous Hall effect and Fermi arcs can be understood via anomalous transport. Finally I briefly review a holographic model of Weyl semimetal which allows to infer a new phenomenon related to the gravitational anomaly: the presence of odd viscosity.

description: Local authorities in Palestine are the service providers for solid waste management. Given that the organic fraction is the largest in municipal solid waste, and with ineffective management policies, the study of attitudes and behavioral aspects of personnel involved are very-important parameters in developing an effective waste management system and assisting policymakers in rectifying these policies. This study aims to assess the attitude of local authorities (LAs) in the southern West Bank of Palestine towards organic municipal solid waste composting and the factors that affect their attitude. The data was gathered via a structured questionnaire from all local authorities in the study area. The results showed that the local authorities’ attitude toward organic solid waste composting is low and can be considered dissatisfactory since only 36.5% of the local authorities are planning for composting compared to 63.5% who are not. The results also showed that municipal solid waste composting is significantly affected by nine factors, including financial capacity, proper machinery, enough refuse collection vehicles to collect solid waste fractions separately, availability of area of land to be used for composting, familiarity with composting systems, staff previous-experience in compost production, acceptance of the rapid composting system, staff training in compost production, and believe that solid waste composting is within the LAs’ responsibility. Implications: The generation of municipal solid waste is growing continuously due to the population growth leading to increased methane emissions, adding more pressure on the landfills which are facing political and social restrictions for expansion in Palestine. In addition, there are severe restrictions imposed on the import of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, composting the organic fractions of solid waste can, to a large extent, extend the life of the landfills and compensate for the shortage of fertilizers in the market. Moreover, it will encourage organic farming and reduce methane emissions as well. Further, it can contribute to achieve the objective of the national strategy on solid waste management.
A Short Counterexample Property for Safety and Liveness Verification of Fault-tolerant Distributed Algorithms

description: Distributed algorithms have many mission-critical applications ranging from embedded systems and replicated databases to cloud computing. Due to asynchronous communication, process faults, or network failures, these algorithms are difficult to design and verify. Many algorithms achieve fault tolerance by using threshold guards that, for instance, ensure that a process waits until it has received an acknowledgment from a majority of its peers. Consequently, domain-specific languages for fault-tolerant distributed systems offer language support for threshold guards. We introduce an automated method for model checking of safety and liveness of threshold-guarded distributed algorithms in systems where the number of processes and the fraction of faulty processes are parameters. Our method is based on a short counterexample property: if a distributed algorithm violates a temporal specification (in a fragment of LTL), then there is a counterexample whose length is bounded and independent of the parameters. We prove this property by (i) characterizing executions depending on the structure of the temporal formula, and (ii) using commutativity of transitions to accelerate and shorten executions. We extended the ByMC toolset (Byzantine Model Checker) with our technique, and verified liveness and safety of 10 prominent fault-tolerant distributed algorithms, most of which were out of reach for existing techniques.

description: Photon Dominated Regions (PDRs) are interfaces between the mainly ionized and mainly molecular material around young massive stars. Analysis of the physical and chemical structure of such regions traces the impact of far-ultraviolet radiation of young massive stars on their environment. We present results on the physical and chemical structure of the prototypical high UV-illumination edge-on Orion Bar PDR from an unbiased spectral line survey with a wide spectral coverage. A spectral scan from 480-1250 GHz and 1410-1910 GHz at 1.1 MHz resolution was obtained by the HIFI instrument onboard the Herschel Space Observatory. For molecules with multiple transitions we used rotational diagrams to obtain excitation temperatures and column densities. For species with a single detected transition we used an optically thin LTE approximation. In case of species with available collisional rates, we also performed a non-LTE analysis to obtain kinetic temperatures, H2 volume densities, and column densities. About 120 lines corresponding to 29 molecules (including isotopologues) have been detected in the Herschel/HIFI line survey, including 11 transitions of CO, 7 transitions of 13CO, 6 transitions of C18O, 10 transitions of H2CO, and 6 transitions of H2O. Most species trace kinetic temperatures in the range between 100 and 150 K and H2 volume densities in the range between 10^5 and 10^6 cm^-3. The species with temperatures and / or densities outside of this range include the H2CO transitions tracing a very high temperature (315 K) and density (1.4x10^6 cm^-3) component and SO corresponding to the lowest temperature (56 K) measured as a part of this line survey. The observed lines/species reveal a range of physical conditions (gas density /temperature) involving structures at high density / high pressure, obsoleting the traditional 'clump / interclump' picture of the Orion Bar.

description: This article provides for the study of the typology and system of exercises used in teaching foreign languages, the identification of modern requirements for them, and the analysis of the methodological foundations for the formation of an effective system of exercises. The article uses methods of historical-comparative analysis, systematic approach, and contextual analysis. Theoretical sources on typologies and systems of exercises developed in different periods have been studied, a comparative analysis of which has been carried out. As a result of the study, various typologies of exercises (language and speech exercises, receptive and reproductive exercises, complex language exercises, etc.) were identified and analyzed. The basic requirements for the exercise system are established: the development of cognitive processes, the inclusion of all linguistic aspects and types of speech activity, the growing level of difficulty, interdependence, repeatability, and communicative orientation. Also, the importance of exercises and the requirements for them have been determined in the methodology of Modern Language Teaching. Exercises are considered the basis of the process of teaching a foreign language, the formation and application of which depends on a number of factors. An effective exercise system should be aimed at the balanced development of cognitive, linguistic, and communicative aspects. A system of exercises developed on the basis of modern approaches makes it possible to effectively formulate the communicative competence of language learners.

description: A series of 3-aryl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole derivatives was synthesized in good yield and assayed in vitro as inhibitors of the mice acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and two goat liver monoamine oxidase (MAO) isoforms, MAO-A and MAO-B. Most of the compounds demonstrated a good AChE and selective MAO-B inhibitory activities in the nanomolar or low micromolar range. N-((3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-yl) methylene) benzenamine (3e, pIC50 = 4.2) and N-((4-fluorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-yl) methylene) methanamine (3f, pIC50 = 3.47) were the most potent AChE and highly selective MAO-B inhibitors respectively. Structure activity relationships showed that chloro derivatives were more effective AChE inhibitors as compared to fluoro derivatives while reverse trend was observed in MAO-B inhibitory activity. With the aid of modeling studies, potential binding orientations as well as interactions of the compounds in the AChE and MAO-B active sites were examined.

description: A tiled display wall is a combined screen composed of multiple individual displays. Without compromising display resolution, a scalable solution for building tiled display walls is proposed. Herein, each display node is solely equipped with an Internet protocol (IP) connection. As display nodes are independently free running, synchronization is required at the display refresh level and regarding the content. In this paper, we focus on the aspect of network forwarding delay estimation, which ultimately determines the accuracy of display phase synchronization of a tiled display wall following the Reverse Genlock paradigm as proposed by the authors earlier. We show that in both switched and shared medium networks, forwarding delay may be estimated with microsecond accuracy.

description: The precise age of slab rollback of the Paleo-Pacific Plate during Early Cretaceous has been contentious. In this study, we have conducted LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating, major and trace elements, and Sr-Nd isotopes analyses on the late Early Cretaceous diabase porphyries, andesitic basalts and basanites in the Yanbian area (NE China). Zircon U-Pb dating of basanites, andesitic basalts, and diabase porphyries yielded weighted average ages of 104 ± 1.9 Ma (MSWD = 0.55, n = 5), 106 ± 1.6 Ma (MSWD = 0.68, n = 6), and 111 ± 2 Ma (MSWD = 16, n = 3), respectively. The whole-rock geochemical results indicate that the late Early Cretaceous rocks predominantly belong to the low-K tholeiitic and medium-K calc-alkaline series. The diabase porphyries and andesitic basalts are characterized by large ion lithophile elements (e.g. Ba, K, and Sr) enrichment and high field strength elements (e.g. Nb and Zr) depletion with weak positive Eu anomalies, low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.70361–0.70394) and high εNd (t) values (5.96–7.87). The tectonic discrimination diagrams show that the diabase porphyries and andesitic basalts formed in the continental Island arc environment related to subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate in the late Early Cretaceous. In contrast, the basanites are enriched in Ba, Th, and U and depleted in K, Sr, and Ti, with weak negative Eu anomalies. The basanites display high magnesium values (Mg# = 0.79), which are approaching the primary magma. They have low Ti values (TiO2 = 1.45%) and Al values (A12O3 = 9.98–10.15%) and high Co values (78.1–80.2 ppm) and Ni values (549.5–585.5 ppm). The basanites formed in the intraplate extensional tectonic setting and were the products of lithospheric thinning and mantle upwelling during the late Early Cretaceous. The spatial-temporal relationship of late Early Cretaceous magmatic rocks in NE China suggests a slab rollback from high-angle subduction to low-angle subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate at ca. 106 Ma.

description: It is known, since the seminal work [T. Lyons, Differential equations driven by rough signals, Rev. Mat. Iberoamericana, 14 (1998)], that the solution map associated to a controlled differential equation is locally Lipschitz continuous in $q$-variation resp. $1/q$-Hölder type metrics on the space of rough paths, for any regularity $1/q \in (0,1]$. We extend this to a new class of Besov-Nikolskii-type metrics, with arbitrary regularity $1/q\in (0,1]$ and integrability $p\in [ q,\infty ]$, where the case $p\in \{ q,\infty \} $ corresponds to the known cases. Interestingly, the result is obtained as consequence of known $q$-variation rough path estimates.

description: We briefly review the diffraction of quasicrystals and then give an elementary alternative proof of the diffraction formula for regular cut-and-project sets, which is based on Bochner's theorem from Fourier analysis. This clarifies a common view that the diffraction of a quasicrystal is determined by the diffraction of its underlying lattice. To illustrate our approach, we will also treat a number of well-known explicitly solvable examples.

description: A number of essential oils derived from plants are claimed to have several medicinal functions, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammation effects. However, the chemical composition and biological activities of flower-derived components have not been sufficiently characterized. Therefore, we investigated the composition of essential oils from Hallabong flower [(Citrus unshiu Marcov × Citrus sinensis Osbeck) × Citrus reticulata Blanco] and their anti-inflammatory effects. Hydro-dist illed essential oils (HEOs) were analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). In total, 21 components were identified, representing more than 98 % of the oils, with sabinene (34.75 %), linalool (14.77 %), β-ocimene (11.07 %), 4-terpineol (9.63 %), L-limonene (5.88 %), and γ-terpinene (4.67 %) as the main components. In the present study, we also investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of HEOs on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 26 4.7 macrophage cells. HEOs were found to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production and to suppress the LPS- induced expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein. In addition, HEOs downregulated the production of the inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1 β(IC50 values are 0.05 %, 0.02 %, and 0.01 %, respectively). On the basis of these results, we suggest that HEOs can be consid ered potential anti-inflammatory candidates for therapeutic use in humans.

Non-equilibrium Fractional Hall Response After a Topological Quench

description: We theoretically study the Hall response of a lattice system following a quench where the topology of a filled band is suddenly changed. In the limit where the physics is dominated by a single Dirac cone, we find that the change in the Hall conductivity is two-thirds of the quantum of conductivity. We explore this universal behavior in the Haldane model, and discuss cold-atom experiments for its observation. Beyond linear response, the Hall effect crosses over from fractional to integer values. We investigate finite-size effects, and the role of the harmonic confinement.

description: We study the impact of dimension-six operators of the standard model effective field theory relevant for vector-boson fusion and associated Higgs boson production at the LHC. We present predictions at the next-to-leading order accuracy in QCD that include matching to parton showers and that rely on fully automated simulations. We show the importance of the subsequent reduction of the theoretical uncertainties in improving the possible discrimination between effective field theory and standard model results, and we demonstrate that the range of the Wilson coefficient values allowed by a global fit to LEP and LHC Run~I data can be further constrained by LHC Run~II future results.

description: The statistical properties of photons are fundamental to investigating quantum mechanical phenomena using light. In multi-photon, two-mode systems, correlations may exist between outcomes of measurements made on each mode which exhibit useful properties. Correlation in this sense can be thought of as increasing the probability of a particular outcome of a measurement on one subsystem given a measurement on a correlated subsystem. Here, we show a statistical property we call "discorrelation," in which the probability of a particular outcome of one subsystem is reduced to zero, given a measurement on a discorrelated subsystem. We show how such a state can be constructed using readily available building blocks of quantum optics, namely coherent states, single photons, beam splitters and projective measurement. We present a variety of discorrelated states, show that they are entangled, and study their sensitivity to loss.

description: We propose a strategy to study massive Quantum Field Theory (QFT) using conformal bootstrap methods. The idea is to consider QFT in hyperbolic space and study correlation functions of its boundary operators. We show that these are solutions of the crossing equations in one lower dimension. By sending the curvature radius of the background hyperbolic space to infinity we expect to recover flat-space physics. We explain that this regime corresponds to large scaling dimensions of the boundary operators, and discuss how to obtain the flat-space scattering amplitudes from the corresponding limit of the boundary correlators. We implement this strategy to obtain universal bounds on the strength of cubic couplings in 2D flat-space QFTs using 1D conformal bootstrap techniques. Our numerical results match precisely the analytic bounds obtained in our companion paper using S-matrix bootstrap techniques.
