Dirac Coupled-channel Analyses of Polarized Proton Scatterings to the 2$^+$ Gamma Vibrational Band in $^{24}$Mg and $^{26}$Mg

description: Dirac coupled channel calculations are performed phenomenologically for the high-lying excited states that belong to the 2$^+$ gamma vibrational band at the 800-MeV polarized proton inelastic scatterings from the s-d shell nuclei, $^{24}$Mg and $^{26}$Mg. Optical potential model is used and scalar and time-like vector potentials are considered as direct potentials. First-order vibrational collective models are used to obtain the transition optical potentials in order to accommodate the high-lying excited vibrational collective states. The complicated Dirac coupled channel equations are solved phenomenologically to reproduce the differential cross section and analyzing power data by varying the optical potential and deformation parameters. It is found that the relativistic Dirac coupled channel calculation could describe the high-lying excited states of the 2$^+$ gamma vibrational band at the 800-MeV polarized proton inelastic scatterings from s-d shell nuclei $^{24}$Mg and $^{26}$Mg reasonably well, showing better agreement with the experimental data compared to the results obtained from the nonrelativistic calculations. Calculated deformation parameters for the excited states are analyzed and compared with those of nonrelativistic calculations.

description: The purpose of the present study is to measure people’s self- knowledge regarding the factors that influence their evaluation of the CSs following the EC procedure. As in our previous preliminary studies, we will compare the relative influence of the pairing to the relative influence reported by the participants and compare the accuracy of those reports to the accuracy of reporting the effect of behavioral information. However, in order to improve our ability to compare between the manipulations, this time we will use a within design. That is, each participant will go through both manipulations, with 2 different CSs (CSpos and CSneg) in each manipulation.
Effect of pressure on magneto-transport properties in the superconducting and normal phases of the metallic double chain compound Pr$_{2}$Ba$_{4}$Cu$_{7}$O$_{15-δ}$

description: To examine the electronic phase diagram of superconducting CuO double chains, we report the effect of external pressure on the magneto-transport properties in superconducting and non-superconducting polycrystalline samples of Pr$_{2}$Ba$_{4}$Cu$_{7}$O$_{15-δ}$ at low temperatures (1.8-40 K) under various magnetic fields (up to 14 T). In the as-sintered non-superconducting sample, the magneto-resistance (MR) follows a power law of $H^{3/2}$ at low temperatures, which is in no agreement with the $H^{2}$ dependence of MR in the PrBa$_{2}$Cu$_{4}$O$_{8}$ system. The negative pressure dependence of the superconducting phase is qualitatively consistent with a theoretical prediction on the basis of the Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid theory. The 48-h-reduced superconducting sample at ambient pressure exhibits no clear increase in MR for $T > T_{c,on}=26.5$ K. In contrast, with the application of pressure to the superconducting sample, the MR effects reappear and are also well fitted by $H^{3/2}$. The model of slightly warped Fermi surfaces explains not only the MR effect of the non-superconducting sample, but is also related to the reasons for the pressure-induced MR phenomena of the superconducting sample.

description: Our current understanding of galaxy evolution still has many uncertainties associated with the details of accretion, processing, and removal of gas across cosmic time. The next generation of radio telescopes will image the neutral hydrogen (HI) in galaxies over large volumes at high redshifts, which will provide key insights into these processes. We are conducting the COSMOS HI Large Extragalactic Survey (CHILES) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, which is the first survey to simultaneously observe HI from z=0 to z~0.5. Here, we report the highest redshift HI 21-cm detection in emission to date of the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) COSMOS J100054.83+023126.2 at z=0.376 with the first 178 hours of CHILES data. The total HI mass is $(2.9\pm1.0)\times10^{10}~M_\odot$, and the spatial distribution is asymmetric and extends beyond the galaxy. While optically the galaxy looks undisturbed, the HI distribution suggests an interaction with candidate a candidate companion. In addition, we present follow-up Large Millimeter Telescope CO observations that show it is rich in molecular hydrogen, with a range of possible masses of $(1.8-9.9)\times10^{10}~M_\odot$. This is the first study of the HI and CO in emission for a single galaxy beyond z~0.2.

description: A hamiltonian coloring $c$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a mapping $c$ : $V(G) \rightarrow \{0,1,2,...\}$ such that $D(u, v)$ + $|c(u) - c(v)|$ $\geq$ $n-1$, for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$, where $D(u, v)$ denotes the detour distance between $u$ and $v$ which is the length of a longest $u,v$-path in $G$. The value $hc(c)$ of a hamiltonian coloring $c$ is the maximum color assigned to a vertex of $G$. The hamiltonian chromatic number, denoted by $hc(G)$, is the min{$hc(c)$} taken over all hamiltonian coloring $c$ of $G$. In this paper, we present a lower bound for the hamiltonian chromatic number of trees and give a sufficient condition to achieve this lower bound. Using this condition we determine the hamiltonian chromatic number of symmetric trees, firecracker trees and a special class of caterpillars.

description: We propose and analyze a general scheme to create chiral topological edge modes within the bulk of two-dimensional engineered quantum systems. Our method is based on the implementation of topological interfaces, designed within the bulk of the system, where topologically-protected edge modes localize and freely propagate in a unidirectional manner. This scheme is illustrated through an optical-lattice realization of the Haldane model for cold atoms, where an additional spatially-varying lattice potential induces distinct topological phases in separated regions of space. We present two realistic experimental configurations, which lead to linear and radial-symmetric topological interfaces, which both allows one to significantly reduce the effects of external confinement on topological edge properties. Furthermore, the versatility of our method opens the possibility of tuning the position, the localization length and the chirality of the edge modes, through simple adjustments of the lattice potentials. In order to demonstrate the unique detectability offered by engineered interfaces, we numerically investigate the time-evolution of wave packets, indicating how topological transport unambiguously manifests itself within the lattice. Finally, we analyze the effects of disorder on the dynamics of chiral and non-chiral states present in the system. Interestingly, engineered disorder is shown to provide a powerful tool for the detection of topological edge modes in cold-atom setups.

description: Giant pulsar frequency glitches as detected in the emblematic Vela pulsar have long been thought to be the manifestation of a neutron superfluid permeating the inner crust of a neutron star. However, this superfluid has been recently found to be entrained by the crust, and as a consequence it does not carry enough angular momentum to explain giant glitches. The extent to which pulsar-timing observations can be reconciled with the standard vortex-mediated glitch theory is studied considering the current uncertainties on dense-matter properties. To this end, the crustal moment of inertia of glitching pulsars is calculated employing a series of different unified dense-matter equations of state.

description: In this paper, we investigate the physical mechanisms underlying one of the most efficient filtration devices: the kidney. Building on a minimal model of the Henle loop - the central part of the kidney filtration - we investigate theoretically the detailed out-of-equilibrium fluxes in this separation process in order to obtain absolute theoretical bounds for its efficiency in terms of separation ability and energy consumption. We demonstrate that this separation process operates at a remarkably small energy cost as compared to traditional sieving processes while working at much smaller pressures. This unique energetic efficiency originates in the double-loop geometry of the nephron, which operates as an active osmotic exchanger. The principles for an artificial-kidney-inspired filtration device could be readily mimicked based on existing soft technologies to build compact and low-energy artificial dialytic devices. Such a "kidney on a chip" also points to new avenues for advanced water recycling, targeting, in particular, sea-water pretreatment for decontamination and hardness reduction.

description: Dans ce cas clinique, une femme de 51 ans présente une forme inhabituelle et étendue d'algodystrophie touchant initialement sa cheville gauche avec des symptômes typiques tels que tuméfaction, douleur et hyperesthésie. Malgré un traitement initial, les symptômes se sont propagés à la cheville droite et ont persisté malgré les thérapies conventionnelles. Les examens ont confirmé le diagnostic, montrant les phases chaudes et froides respectivement aux deux chevilles. Cette évolution inhabituelle vers une implication bilatérale est exceptionnelle dans la littérature existante. Habituellement, les récurrences se produisent dans la même zone ou de manière symétrique chez certains patients, mais une extension simultanée et bilatérale reste rare. Ce cas particulier suggère des mécanismes physiopathologiques distincts ou une réaction neurologique singulière, soulevant des interrogations sur les déclencheurs et les voies de propagation de cette affection complexe. Il souligne également l'importance cruciale d'une surveillance attentive des patients atteints d'algodystrophie pour détecter toute extension ou aggravation, même du côté opposé, afin d'adapter au mieux la prise en charge thérapeutique et de prévenir des formes chroniques ou réfractaires de la maladie.

description: The Sinai model of a tracer diffusing in a quenched Brownian potential is a much studied problem exhibiting a logarithmically slow anomalous diffusion due to the growth of energy barriers with the system size. However, if the potential is random but periodic, the regime of anomalous diffusion crosses over to one of normal diffusion once a tracer has diffused over a few periods of the system. Here we consider a system in which the potential is given by a Brownian Bridge on a finite interval $(0,L)$ and then periodically repeated over the whole real line, and study the power spectrum $S(f)$ of the diffusive process $x(t)$ in such a potential. We show that for most of realizations of $x(t)$ in a given realization of the potential, the low-frequency behavior is $S(f) \sim {\cal A}/f^2$, i.e., the same as for standard Brownian motion, and the amplitude ${\cal A}$ is a disorder-dependent random variable with a finite support. Focusing on the statistical properties of this random variable, we determine the moments of ${\cal A}$ of arbitrary, negative or positive order $k$, and demonstrate that they exhibit a multi-fractal dependence on $k$, and a rather unusual dependence on the temperature and on the periodicity $L$, which are supported by atypical realizations of the periodic disorder. We finally show that the distribution of ${\cal A}$ has a log-normal left tail, and exhibits an essential singularity close to the right edge of the support, which is related to the Lifshitz singularity. Our findings are based both on analytic results and on extensive numerical simulations of the process $x(t)$.

description: Este estudo exploratório-descritivo, bibliográfico e documental aborda o tema das políticas de permanência estudantil, implementadas pela gestão das instituições públicas de educação superior, para atender as agendas de inclusão digital e ensino remoto, durante o período da pandemia da Covid-19. Desta forma, o trabalho buscou situar as ações e políticas sobre o referido tema em duas das Universidades Estaduais da Bahia (UEBA), nessa crise sanitária mundial. Os resultados mostraram que, para a continuidade do ensino superior, as Universidades precisaram implementar ações de inclusão digital, com recursos do próprio orçamento, visando à garantia da equidade de acesso às aulas remotas para estudantes de grupos socioeconômicos mais vulneráveis. O que evidencia lacunas sociais que precisam ser cobertas pelas políticas de permanência estudantil, principalmente em função do acesso à internet não universalizado. Assim, com os olhos postos no futuro, ante as possibilidades de continuidade de ensino hibrido em algumas atividades, mesmo após o fim da crise sanitária, levantam-se questões sobre a necessidade de adequações nessas políticas, já que essas Universidades vivenciam sucessivas restrições orçamentárias e financeiras, para que os recursos, ora demandados para inclusão digital, possam fazer parte de seus orçamentos anuais.

description: The Strategic roadmap for the cultural tourism change tool was developed for the SmartCulTour project, and it is one of the WP7 deliverables. Since the tool is its own deliverable, it is presented separately in this document. The Strategy roadmap is part of the D7.3 SmartCulTour toolkit, where the tool is presented as part of the design process and sustainable cultural tourism development. Refer to the D7.3 SmartCulTour Toolkit and D7.4 Training aid for further information. However, this document allows the tool to be used as a separate action, for example, in the case when destination do not want to follow a very community-driven development approach but can still follow the strategic roadmap from a top-down planning approach. The document will follow through with the purpose and preparations for the workshop where the Strategy roadmap is used. At the end of the document, the templates of the Strategic roadmap for cultural tourism change is attached. When using the templates, print them A3 size or bigger.

description: We present the most general gauge-invariant action functional for coupled 1- and 2-form gauge fields with kinetic terms in generic dimensions, i.e. dropping eventual contributions that can be added in particular space-time dimensions only such as higher Chern-Simons terms. After appropriate field redefinitions it coincides with a truncation of the Samtleben-Szegin-Wimmer action. In the process one sees explicitly how the existence of a gauge invariant functional enforces that the most general semi-strict Lie 2-algebra describing the bundle of a non-abelian gerbe gets reduced to a very particular structure, which, after the field redefinition, can be identified with the one of an enhanced Leibniz algebra. This is the first step towards a systematic construction of such functionals for higher gauge theories, with kinetic terms for a tower of gauge fields up to some highest form degree p, solved here for p = 2.

We have included both scalar, vector and axial-vector resonances. For the first time, the lowest tensor resonance ($f_2(1270)$) is included as well. Both single and double-resonance contributions to the hadronic form factors are taken into account. To satisfy the correct high energy behaviour of the hadronic form factors, constraints on numerical values of the vertex constants are obtained.

description: Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are carried out to study the structure and electronic structure of amorphous zinc oxide (a-ZnO). The models were prepared by the "melt-quench" method. The models are chemically ordered with some coordination defects. The effect of trivalent dopants in the structure and electronic properties of a-ZnO is investigated. Models of a-X_0.375 Z_0.625 O (X=Al, Ga and In) were also prepared by the "melt- quench" method. The trivalent dopants reduce the four-fold Zn and O, thereby introducing some coordination defects in the network. The dopants prefer to bond with O atom. The network topology is discussed in detail. Dopants reduce the gap in EDOS by producing defect states minimum while maintaining the extended nature of the conduction band edge.

description: Cognitive flexibility (CF) is the ability to adapt cognitive strategies according to the changing environment. The deficit in CF has often been linked to various neurological and psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. However, the operationalization and assessment of CF have not been unified and the current research suggests that the available instruments measure different aspects of CF. The main objective of the present study was to compare three frequently used neuropsychological measures of CF-Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Trail Making Test (TMT) and Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) in a population of patients (N = 220) with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders in order to evaluate their convergent validity. The hypothesis of an underlying latent construct was tested via a confirmatory factor analysis. We used a one-factor CF model with scores from WCST, SCWT and TMT as observed variables. The established model showed a good fit to the data (χ2 = 1.67, p = 0.43, SRMR = 0.02, RMSEA = 0.0, CFI = 1.00). The highest factor loading was found in WCST as CF explained most of the variance in this neuropsychological measure compared to the other instruments. On the other hand, a TMT ratio index and a SCWT interference demonstrated lowest loadings in the model. The findings suggest that not all the frequently used measures share an underlying factor of CF or may capture different aspects of this construct.

description: We report six new inflated hot Jupiters (HATS-25b through HATS-30b) discovered using the HATSouth global network of automated telescopes. The planets orbit stars with $V$ magnitudes in the range $\sim 12-14$ and have masses in the largely populated $0.5M_J-0.7M_J$ region of parameter space but span a wide variety of radii, from $1.17R_J$ to $1.75 R_J$. HATS-25b, HATS-28b, HATS-29b and HATS-30b are typical inflated hot Jupiters ($R_p = 1.17-1.26R_J$) orbiting G-type stars in short period ($P=3.2-4.6$ days) orbits. However, HATS-26b ($R_p = 1.75R_J$, $P = 3.3024$ days) and HATS-27b ($R_p=1.50R_J$, $P=4.6370$ days) stand out as highly inflated planets orbiting slightly evolved F stars just after and in the turn-off points, respectively, which are among the least dense hot Jupiters, with densities of $0.153$ g cm$^{-3}$ and $0.180$ g cm$^{-3}$, respectively. All the presented exoplanets but HATS-27b are good targets for future atmospheric characterization studies, while HATS-27b is a prime target for Rossiter-McLaughlin monitoring in order to determine its spin-orbit alignment given the brightness ($V = 12.8$) and stellar rotational velocity ($v \sin i \approx 9.3$ km/s) of the host star. These discoveries significantly increase the number of inflated hot Jupiters known, contributing to our understanding of the mechanism(s) responsible for hot Jupiter inflation.

description: Aims. The magnetic field of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) determines their structure, evolution, and energetics, as well as their geoeffectiveness. However, we currently lack routine diagnostics of the near-Sun CME magnetic field, which is crucial for determining the subsequent evolution of CMEs. Methods. We recently presented a method to infer the near-Sun magnetic field magnitude of CMEs and then extrapolate it to 1 AU. This method uses relatively easy to deduce observational estimates of the magnetic helicity in CME-source regions along with geometrical CME fits enabled by coronagraph observations. We hereby perform a parametric study of this method aiming to assess its robustness. We use statistics of active region (AR) helicities and CME geometrical parameters to determine a matrix of plausible near-Sun CME magnetic field magnitudes. In addition, we extrapolate this matrix to 1 AU and determine the anticipated range of CME magnetic fields at 1 AU representing the radial falloff of the magnetic field in the CME out to interplanetary (IP) space by a power law with index aB. Results. The resulting distribution of the near-Sun (at 10 Rs ) CME magnetic fields varies in the range [0.004, 0.02] G, comparable to, or higher than, a few existing observational inferences of the magnetic field in the quiescent corona at the same distance. We also find that a theoretically and observationally motivated range exists around aB = -1.6 +-0.2, thereby leading to a ballpark agreement between our estimates and observationally inferred field magnitudes of magnetic clouds (MCs) at L1. Conclusions. In a statistical sense, our method provides results that are consistent with observations.

We used SPHERE IRDIS narrow-band classical imaging in Pa$β$, Br$γ$, and the $ν$ = 1-0 S(1) line of H$_2$, as well as in the nearby continua to obtain high spatial resolution and high contrast images over the NIR spectral range. Line maps were created by subtracting the nearby continuum. We also re--analyzed coronagraphic data taken with SPHERE's integral field spectrograph in $J$- and $H$-band with the goal to obtain a precise extinction estimate to T Tauri Sb, and to verify the recently reported claim of another stellar or substellar object in the system. A previously unknown coiling structure is observed southwest of the stars in reflected light, which points to the vicinity of T Tauri N. We map the circumbinary emission from T Tauri S in $J$- and $H$-band scattered light for the first time, showing a morphology which differs significantly from that observed in $K$-band. H$_2$ emission is found southwest of the stars, near the coiling structure. We also detect the H$_2$ emitting region T Tauri NW. The motion of T Tauri NW with respect to T Tauri N and S between previous images and our 2014 data, provides strong evidence that the Southeast-Northwest outflow triggering T Tauri NW is likely to be associated with T Tauri S. We further present accurate relative photometry of the stars, confirming that T Tauri Sa is brightening again. Our analysis rules out the presence of the recently proposed companion to T Tauri N with high confidence.

description: Introduction: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe acute inflammatory reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. There is a lack of data describing differential expression of immune genes in MIS-C compared to healthy children or those with other inflammatory conditions and how expression changes over time. In this study, we investigated expression of immune-related genes in South African MIS-C patients and controls. Methods: The cohort included 30 pre-treatment MIS-C cases and 54 healthy non-inflammatory paediatric controls. Other controls included 34 patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, Kawasaki disease or other inflammatory conditions. Longitudinal post-treatment MIS-C specimens were available at various timepoints. Expression of 80 immune-related genes was determined by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: A total of 29 differentially expressed genes were identified in pre-treatment MIS-C compared to healthy controls. Up-regulated genes were found to be overrepresented in innate immune pathways including interleukin-1 processing and pyroptosis. Post-treatment follow-up data were available for up to 1,200 hours after first treatment. All down-regulated genes and 17/18 up-regulated genes resolved to normal levels in the timeframe, and all patients clinically recovered. When comparing MIS-C to other febrile conditions, only IL27 expression could differentiate these two groups with high sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions: These data indicate a unique 29-gene signature of MIS-C in South African children. The up-regulation of interleukin-1 and pyroptosis pathway genes highlights the role of the innate immune system in MIS-C. IL-27 is a potent anti-inflammatory and antiviral cytokine that may distinguish MIS-C from other conditions in our setting.

description: This paper presents the teaching experience of a course named Information Systems Engineering in a Master's degree program of the Universitat Politècnica de València. The target of this course is to teach Model-Driven Development (MDD). On the last years we have observed that students attended the course with poor motivation since they do not see MDD as being a useful development paradigm. The students have an extensive background in a traditional method (they are good programmers) where all the code is manually programmed, but they lack sound experience in conceptual modeling. In order to improve their motivation and to highlight the pros and cons of MDD, we propose a practical comparison of a traditional method and MDD. The teaching methodology consists of a problem-based learning task where students must develop two problems from scratch, one with a traditional method and the other with MDD. Our experience has been evaluated in terms of attitude towards MDD, knowledge of MDD, quality of the developed system, and satisfaction of the developer. The results show that the students obtained significantly better results for MDD in terms of attitude, knowledge, and quality.

description: We present spectroscopic measurements on the night sky of Xinglong Observatory for a period of 12 years from 2004 to 2015. The spectra were obtained on moonless clear nights using the OMR spectrograph mounted on a 2.16-m reflector with a wavelength coverage of 4000-7000A. The night sky spectrum shows the presence of emission lines from Hg I and Na I due to local artificial sources, along with the atmospheric emission lines, i.e., O I and OH molecules, indicating the existence of light pollution. We have monitored the night sky brightness during the whole night and found some decrement in the sky brightness with time, but the change is not significant. Also, we monitored the light pollution level in different azimuthal directions and found that the influence of light pollution from the direction of Beijing is stronger compared with that from the direction of Tangshan and other areas. An analysis of night sky spectra for the entire data set suggested that the zenith sky brightness of Xinglong Observatory has brightened by about 0.5 mag arcsec -2 in the V and B bands from 2004 to 2015. We recommend consecutive spectroscopic measurements of the night sky brightness at Xinglong Observatory in the future, not only for monitoring but also for scientific reference.

description: The SwissFEL light-facility will provide coherent X-rays in the wavelength region 7-0.7 nm and 0.7-0.1 nm. In SwissFEL, view-screens and wire-scanners will be used to monitor the transverse profile of a 200/10pC electron beam with a normalized emittance of 0.4/0.2 mm.mrad and a final energy of 5.8 GeV. Compared to view screens, wire-scanners offer a quasi-non-destructive monitoring of the beam transverse profile without suffering from possible micro-bunching of the electron beam. The main aspects of the design, laboratory characterization and beam-test of the SwissFEL wire-scanner prototype will be discussed.

description: Nanomechanical systems made from phononic crystals can act as highly coherent microwave-frequency circuits at cryogenic temperatures. However, generating sufficient coupling between these devices and microwave superconducting quantum circuits is challenging due to the vastly different length scales of acoustic and electrical excitations. Here we demonstrate a general recipe for calculating these interactions and show that large piezoelectric coupling rates between microwave superconducting circuits containing Josephson junctions and nanoscale phononic resonances are possible, suggesting a route to phononic crystal circuits and systems that are nonlinear at the single-phonon level.

description: Different authors have reported the increasingly complicated problem of overweight and obesity in Mexico's child and young adult population. This problem has a direct impact on other diseases in adulthood. There is a growing problem of excess and/or deficit of some nutrients in this population, who follow Western dietary patterns despite having a different culture, physiology and eating habits. The DRIs for Mexico have been adopted from those of the USA and Canada since 1968 and have undergone very few changes and updates. The objective of this systematic review will be to reflect the nutrients that the Mexican population ingests through its food availability and socio-cultural habits to create RDI recommendations adjusted exclusively to the Mexican population.

description: The reform of the European academic landscape with the introduction of bachelor's and master's degree programs has brought about several profound changes for teaching and assessment in higher education. With regard to the examination system, the shift towards output-oriented teaching is still one of the most significant challenges. Assessments have to be integrated into the teaching and learning arrangements and consistently aligned towards the intended learning outcomes. In particular, assessments should provide valid evidence that learners have acquired competences that are relevant for a specific domain. However, it seems that this didactic goal has not yet been fully achieved in modeling education in computer science. The aim of this study is to investigate whether typical task material used in exercises and exams in modeling education at selected German universities covers relevant competences required for graphical modeling. For this purpose, typical tasks in the field of modeling are first identified by means of a content-analytical procedure. Subsequently, it is determined which competence facets relevant for graphical modeling are addressed by the task types. By contrasting a competence model for modeling with the competences addressed by the tasks, a gap was identified between the required competences and the task material analyzed. In particular, the gap analysis shows the neglect of transversal competence facets as well as those related to the analysis and evaluation of models. The result of this paper is a classification of task types for modeling education and a specification of the competence facets addressed by these tasks. Recommendations for developing and assessing student's competences comprehensively are given.

description: The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has sparked concern that many jobs are at risk of automation. This paper contributes to this debate in the context of the tax practitioner. We describe a methodological approach that redefines the appropriate loci of analysis as a combination of the level of task and the career stage rather than focussing on the tax role at a macro level. We use these revised loci to perform a meta-analysis of existing studies in order to examine the role of the tax practitioner. The change in focus of analysis reveals a number of insights which have been heretofore obscured.

description: Covalent drug discovery has undergone a resurgence over the past two decades and reactive cysteine profiling has emerged in parallel as a platform for ligand discovery through on- and off-target profiling; however, the scope of this approach has not been fully explored at the whole-proteome level. We combined AlphaFold2-predicted side-chain accessibilities for >95% of the human proteome with a meta-analysis of eighteen public cysteine profiling datasets, totaling 44,187 unique cysteine residues, revealing accessibility biases in sampled cysteines primarily dictated by warhead chemistry. Analysis of >3.5 million cysteine-fragment interactions further showed that hit elaboration and optimization drives increased bias against buried cysteine residues. Based on these data, we suggest that current profiling approaches cover a small proportion of potential ligandable cysteine residues and propose future directions for increasing coverage, focusing on high-priority residues and depth. All analysis and produced resources are freely available and extendable to other reactive amino acids.
