description: The optics of a number of future X-ray telescopes will have very long focal lengths (10 - 20 m), and will consist of a number of nested/stacked thin, grazing-incidence mirrors. The optical quality characterization of a real mirror can be obtained via profile metrology, and the Point Spread Function of the mirror can be derived via one of the standard computation methods. However, in practical cases it can be difficult to access the optical surfaces of densely stacked mirror shells, after they have been assembled, using the widespread metrological tools. For this reason, the assessment of the imaging resolution of a system of mirrors is better obtained via a direct, full-illumination test in X-rays. If the focus cannot be reached, an intra-focus test can be performed, and the image can be compared with the simulation results based on the metrology, if available. However, until today no quantitative information was extracted from a full-illumination, intra-focal exposure. In this work we show that, if the detector is located at an optimal distance from the mirror, the intensity variations of the intra-focal, full-illumination image in single reflection can be used to reconstruct the profile of the mirror surface, without the need of a wavefront sensor. The Point Spread Function can be subsequently computed from the reconstructed mirror shape. We show the application of this method to an intra-focal (8 m distance from mirror) test performed at PANTER on an optical module prototype made of hot-slumped glass foils with a 20 m focal length, from which we could derive an expected imaging quality near 16 arcsec HEW.

description: In this paper we raise the question whether every closed Riemannian manifold has a spine of minimal area, and we answer it affirmatively in the surface case. On constant curvature surfaces we introduce the spine systole, a continuous real function on moduli space that measures the minimal length of a spine in each surface. We show that the spine systole is a proper function and has its global minima precisely on the extremal surfaces (those containing the biggest possible discs). We also study minimal spines, which are critical points for the length functional. We completely classify minimal spines on flat tori, proving that the number of them is a proper function on moduli space. We also show that the number of minimal spines of uniformly bounded length is finite on hyperbolic surfaces.

description: The possibility of formulating quantum mechanics over quaternionic Hilbert spaces can be traced back to von Neumann's foundational works in the thirties. The absence of a suitable quaternionic version of spectrum prevented the full development of the theory. The first rigorous quaternionic formulation has been started only in 2007 with the definition of the spherical spectrum of a quaternionic operator based on a quadratic version of resolvent operator. The relevance of this notion is proved by the existence of a quaternionic continuous functional calculus and a theory of quaternionic semigroups relying upon it. A problem of quaternionic formulation is the description of composite quantum systems in absence of a natural tensor product due to non-commutativity of quaternions. A promising tool towards a solution is a quaternionic projection-valued measure (PVM), making possible a tensor product of quaternionic operators with physical relevance. A notion with this property, called intertwining quaternionic PVM, is presented here. This foundational paper aims to investigate the interplay of this new mathematical object and the spherical spectral features of quaternionic generally unbounded normal operators. We discover in particular the existence of other spectral notions equivalent to the spherical ones, but based on a standard non-quadratic notion of resolvent operator.

description: Multiple compound surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves can be guided by a structure consisting of a sufficiently thick layer of metal sandwiched between a homogeneous isotropic dielectric (HID) material and a dielectric structurally chiral material (SCM). The compound SPP waves are strongly bound to both metal/dielectric interfaces when the thickness of the metal layer is comparable to the skin depth but just to one of the two interfaces when the thickness is much larger. The compound SPP waves differ in phase speed, attenuation rate, and field profile, even though all are excitable at the same frequency. Some compound SPP waves are not greatly affected by the choice of the direction of propagation in the transverse plane but others are, depending on metal thickness. For fixed metal thickness, the number of compound SPP waves depends on the relative permittivity of the HID material, which can be useful for sensing applications.

description: Usutu virus (USUV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are closely related mosquito-borne flaviviruses that are mainly transmitted between bird hosts by vector mosquitoes. Infections in humans are incidental but can cause severe disease. USUV is endemic in large parts of Europe, while WNV mainly circulates in Southern Europe. In recent years, WNV is also frequently detected in Northern Europe, thereby expanding the area where both viruses co-circulate. However, it remains unclear how USUV may affect the future spread of WNV and the likelihood of human co-infection. Here we investigated whether co-infections with both viruses in cell lines and their primary mosquito vector, Culex pipiens, affect virus replication and transmission dynamics. We show that USUV is outcompeted by WNV in mammalian, avian and mosquito cells during co-infection. Mosquitoes that were exposed to both viruses simultaneously via infectious blood meal displayed significantly reduced USUV transmission compared to mosquitoes that were only exposed to USUV (from 15% to 3%), while the infection and transmission of WNV was unaffected. In contrast, when mosquitoes were pre-infected with USUV via infectious blood meal, WNV transmission was significantly reduced (from 44% to 17%). Injection experiments established the involvement of the midgut in the observed USUV-mediated WNV inhibition. The competition between USUV and WNV during co-infection clearly indicates that the chance of concurrent USUV and WNV transmission via a single mosquito bite is low. The competitive relation between USUV and WNV may impact virus transmission dynamics in the field and affect the epidemiology of WNV in Europe.

description: Data Management Plans (DMPs) are crucial for a structured research data management and often a mandatory part of research proposals. DMP tools support the development of DMPs. Among the variety of tools available, it can be difficult for researchers, data stewards and institutions to choose the one that is most appropriate for their specific needs and context. We evaluated 18 DMP tools according to 31 requirement parameters covering aspects relating to basic functions, technical aspects and user-friendliness. The highest total evaluation scores were reached by Data Stewardship Wizard (703.5), DMPTool (615.5) and RDMO NFDI4Ing (549.5). The tools evaluated satisfied between 10 % and 87 % of the requirement parameters. 11 tools cover at least half of the parameters. Accounting for the recent developments in the area of DMP tools, this study provides an up-to-date evaluation that can support tool developers in identifying potential improvements, and hosting institutions to select a tool suited to their specific needs.

description: The goal of this paper is to develop efficient regrasp algorithms for single-arm and dual-arm regrasp and compares the performance of single-arm and dual-arm regrasp by running the two algorithms thousands of times. We focus on pick-and-place regrasp which reorients an object from one placement to another by using a sequence of pick-ups and place-downs. After analyzing the simulation results, we find dual-arm regrasp is not necessarily better than single-arm regrasp: Dual-arm regrasp is flexible. When the two hands can grasp the object with good clearance, dual-arm regrasp is better and has higher successful rate than single-arm regrasp. However, dual-arm regrasp suffers from geometric constraints caused by the two arms. When the grasps overlap, dual-arm regrasp is bad. Developers need to sample grasps with high density to reduce overlapping. This leads to exploded combinatorics in previous methods, but is possible with the algorithms presented in this paper. Following the results, practitioners may choose single-arm or dual-arm robots by considering the object shapes and grasps. Meanwhile, they can reduce overlapping and implement practical dual-arm regrasp by using the presented algorithms.
Contribution of Bacterial Cells to the Fluorescence Spectra of Natural Organic Matter in Freshwaters

description: Aquatic Natural Organic Matter (NOM) fuels heterotrophic respiration. The fraction Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) is operationally defined as material in water samples passing through 0.45 - 0.7 micron filters. Amino acid fluorescence of DOM serves as a proxy for DOM bioavailability. However, bacterial cells, only largely removed by filtration, also demonstrate amino acid fluorescence. The objective of this study was to determine contributions of bacterial cells to amino acid fluorescence in freshwaters. Unfiltered bacterial suspensions demonstrated amino acid fluorescence proportional to bacterial cell concentration; however, 0.22 micron filtration removed most fluorescence. For freshwaters, losses in amino acid fluorescence (up to 60%) with varying pore size filtration largely paralleled losses in particulate material. Using reported retention efficiencies for 0.7 micron filters, bacterial cells in natural waters may account for 5 - 50% of amino acid fluorescence in freshwaters, thereby potentially confounding the interpretation of amino acid fluorescence as a proxy for labile DOM.

description: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a WHO priority pathogen for which vaccines are urgently needed. Using an immune-focusing approach, we created self-assembling particles multivalently displaying critical regions of the MERS-CoV spike protein ─fusion peptide, heptad repeat 2, and receptor binding domain (RBD) ─ and tested their immunogenicity and protective capacity in rabbits. Using a “plug-and-display” SpyTag/SpyCatcher system, we coupled RBD to lumazine synthase (LS) particles producing multimeric RBD-presenting particles (RBD-LS). RBD-LS vaccination induced antibody responses of high magnitude and quality (avidity, MERS-CoV neutralizing capacity, and mucosal immunity) with cross-clade neutralization. The antibody responses were associated with blocking viral replication and upper and lower respiratory tract protection against MERS-CoV infection in rabbits. This arrayed multivalent presentation of the viral RBD using the antigen-SpyTag/LS-SpyCatcher is a promising MERS-CoV vaccine candidate and this platform may be applied for the rapid development of vaccines against other emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.

description: Specialized Monte Carlo methods are nowadays routinely employed, in combination with thermodynamic integration (TI), to locate phase boundaries of classical many-particle systems. This is especially useful for the fluid-solid transition, where a critical point does not exist and both phases may notoriously go deeply metastable. Using the Lennard-Jones model for demonstration, we hereby investigate on the alternate possibility of tracing reasonably accurate transition lines directly by integrating the pressure equation of state computed in a canonical-ensemble simulation with local moves. The recourse to this method would become a necessity when the stable crystal structure is not known. We show that, rather counterintuitively, metastability problems can be alleviated by reducing (rather than increasing) the size of the system. In particular, the location of liquid-vapor coexistence can exactly be predicted by just TI. On the contrary, TI badly fails in the solid-liquid region, where a better assessment (to within 10\% accuracy) of the coexistence pressure can be made by following the expansion, until melting, of the defective solid which has previously emerged from the decay of the metastable liquid.

description: Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a calcium-dependent enzyme that natively catalyses the formation of isopeptidic bonds between protein- or peptide-bound glutamine and lysine residues. Physiologically, it is ubiquitously expressed in tissues, with roles in cellular differentiation, extracellular matrix stabilisation, and apoptosis, among others. However, its unregulated activity has been associated with various pathologies including fibrosis, cancer and celiac disease. Since most pathologies are associated with an increased transamidation activity, efforts have been directed towards the development of TG2 inhibitors. In this context, the work described in this thesis is centred on reversible inhibitors, building on recent work done within the Keillor group in two directions, namely localisation and potency. In a localisation-driven approach, we developed a photolabile derivative of a known reversible inhibitor, in order to form a covalent bond with the enzyme and determine the inhibitor’s binding site. In tandem, we optimised a protocol for the expression of TG2 incorporating ArgΔ10 and LysΔ8, amino acids that are 13C- and 15N-labelled to provide a mass shift of 10 and 8 Da, respectively, compared to the corresponding unlabelled amino acids. This “heavy” TG2 was developed as a tool for reference in the analysis of the tryptic digest of labelled protein. In a potency-driven approach, based on the observation that previous trans cinnamoyl inhibitor scaffolds were susceptible to nucleophilic attack by glutathione, we developed a bis(triazole) scaffold with reduced electrophilicity. The preparation of a small library of compounds showed that this scaffold demonstrates a preference for electron-withdrawing substituents, such as nitro groups. Continuing in a potency-driven approach, and inspired by work done in the identification of glutathione-resistant scaffolds, we studied a new alkynyl scaffold. While still susceptible to glutathione addition, these compounds showed a marked improvement in potency, with the lead compound having an IC50 of 930 nM and being established as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 420 nM, our most potent reversible inhibitor to date. Furthermore, this scaffold also produced an inhibitor lacking nitro groups (to limit eventual cellular toxicity), but maintaining good potency, with an IC50 value of 3.03 μM.

Endothelial Dysfunction

description: Individuals with diabetes have an increased mortality due to the macro- and microvascular complications, which are commonly preceded by endothelial dysfunction. We have shown that endothelial microparticles (eMPs) are markers and mediators of vascular injury and pathology. However, their utility as a biomarker of hyperglycemia-induced endothelial damage and their influence on the vasculature remains unclear. We hypothesized that high glucose (HG) exposure alters eMPs protein composition, making them reflective of active signalling processes characteristic of a hyperglycemic environment. In addition, HG alters eMPs bioactivity, making them more potent inducers of oxidative stress, thrombosis and endothelial damage. Therefore, we assessed the exclusive effects of HG on eMPs formation, composition, and signalling. Results: Exposure of endothelial cells to high glucose for 24 hours caused a 3-fold increase in eMPs formation, increased mean vesicle size and their absolute electronegativity. Proteomic analysis of eMPs identified 1,212 independent proteins, with 68 exclusive to HG and associated with signalling processes related to metabolic processes, oxidation-reduction reactions, hemostasis and thrombosis and cellular interactions at the vascular wall. Compared to eMPs formed under normal conditions, eMPs formed in response to HG possess a ~3-fold greater procoagulant activity, induced a greater production of cellular ROS and were more potent inhibitors of endothelial-dependent relaxation. Conclusions/Interpretation: Taken together our results indicate HG alters the composition of eMPs, making them more potent mediators of endothelial damage. With similar changes in bioactivity being evident in the protein composition and the associated enriched biological processes, eMPs protein content may provide insight into the pathophysiological status of the cells in a hyperglycemic environment and provide use clinically, to identify dysregulated pathways for therapeutic targeting.

description: In this note we discuss dual pairs in Dirac geometry. We show that this notion appears naturally when studying the problem of pushing forward a Dirac structure along a surjective submersion, and we prove a Dirac-theoretic version of Libermann's theorem from Poisson geometry. Our main result is an explicit construction of strong self-dual pairs for Dirac structures. This theorem not only recovers the global construction of symplectic realizations from [Crainic-Marcut 2011], but allows for a more conceptual understanding of it, yielding a simpler and more natural proof. As an application of the main theorem, we present a different approach to the recent normal form theorem around Dirac transversals from [Bursztyn-Lima-Meinrenken 2016].

Zielstellung der Ausbildung in diesem Modul ist die Anbahnung von Kompetenzen des Judokampfsports. Wir bemühen uns in den Übungen, dabei auch theoretische Aspekte aus der Sportwissenschaft, speziell der Bewegungs- und Trainingslehre, in die Lehrplanung einfließen zu lassen. Damit erreichen wir eine Verknüpfung von Theorie und Praxis in unserer Didaktik. Des Weiteren spielt der Thüringer Lehrplan Sport (2017), der neben den koordinativen und konditionellen Fähigkeiten auch die Entwicklung von Methoden- und Sozialkompetenzen einfordert, eine Rolle. In der Vergangenheit gab es in der Judogrundausbildung die Darstellung von Techniken aus der Go-kyo nach den Vorgaben des Kodokan in Tokio. Schaut man aber in unseren Fachliteraturen die Aussagen zu qualitativen Bewegungsmerkmalen und Funktionsphasenkonzepten durch, ergeben sich erweiterte Möglichkeiten für die Darstellung von Kampftechniken. Warum diese Erweiterungen wichtig sind und wie man im Lehrbetrieb damit hilft, die Selbstkompetenz der Studierenden zu verbessern, dass soll im Vortrag dargestellt werden. Außerdem wird gezeigt, wie Lehrende durch einen geschickten didaktisch-methodischen Einsatz moderner Medien und der Arbeit zu Hause (Selbstkompetenz) die Erhöhung der Effektivität des Erlernens von Kampftechniken weiter voran bringen können. Ein Handlungskonzept für die spätere Arbeit der Studierenden als Lehrkräfte an Schulen wird vorgeschlagen.

description: Progress in the emergent field of topological superconductivity relies on synthesis of new material combinations, combining superconductivity, low density, and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). For example, theory [1-4] indicates that the interface between a one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor (Sm) with strong SOC and a superconductor (S) hosts Majorana modes with nontrivial topological properties [5-8]. Recently, epitaxial growth of Al on InAs nanowires was shown to yield a high quality S-Sm system with uniformly transparent interfaces [9] and a hard induced gap, indicted by strongly suppressed sub gap tunneling conductance [10]. Here we report the realization of a two-dimensional (2D) InAs/InGaAs heterostructure with epitaxial Al, yielding a planar S-Sm system with structural and transport characteristics as good as the epitaxial wires. The realization of 2D epitaxial S-Sm systems represent a significant advance over wires, allowing extended networks via top-down processing. Among numerous potential applications, this new material system can serve as a platform for complex networks of topological superconductors with gate-controlled Majorana zero modes [1-4]. We demonstrate gateable Josephson junctions and a highly transparent 2D S-Sm interface based on the product of excess current and normal state resistance.

description: Burkholderia cenocepacia is an emerging opportunistic pathogen for people with cystic fibrosis and chronic granulomatous disease. Intracellular survival in macrophages within a membrane-bound vacuole (BcCV) that delays acidification and maturation into lysosomes is a hallmark of B. cenocepacia infection. Intracellular B. cenocepacia induce an inflammatory response leading to macrophage cell death by pyroptosis through the secretion of a bacterial deamidase that results in the activation of the pyrin inflammasome. However, how or whether infected macrophages can process and present B. cenocepacia antigens to activate T-cells has not been explored. Engulfed bacterial protein antigens are cleaved into small peptides in the late endosomal major histocompatibility class II complex (MHC) compartment (MIIC). Here, we demonstrate that BcCVs and MIICs have overlapping features and that interferon-gamma-activated macrophages infected with B. cenocepacia can process bacterial antigens for presentation by class II MHC molecules to CD4+ T-cells and by class I MHC molecules to CD8+ T-cells. Infected macrophages also release processed bacterial peptides into the extracellular medium, stabilizing empty class I MHC molecules of bystander cells. Together, we conclude that BcCVs acquire MIIC characteristics, supporting the notion that macrophages infected with B. cenocepacia contribute to establishing an adaptive immune response against the pathogen.

description: Phase transitions in one-dimensional classical fluids are usually ruled out by making appeal to van Hove's theorem. A way to circumvent the conclusions of the theorem is to consider an interparticle potential that is everywhere bounded. Such is the case of, {\it e.g.}, the generalized exponential model of index 4 (GEM-4 potential), which in three dimensions gives a reasonable description of the effective repulsion between flexible dendrimers in a solution. An extensive Monte Carlo simulation of the one-dimensional GEM-4 model [S. Prestipino, {\em Phys. Rev. E} {\bf 90}, 042306 (2014)] has recently provided evidence of an infinite sequence of low-temperature cluster phases, however also suggesting that upon pushing the simulation forward what seemed a true transition may eventually prove to be only a sharp crossover. We hereby investigate this problem theoretically, by three different and increasingly sophisticated approaches ({\it i.e.}, a mean-field theory, the transfer matrix of a lattice model of clusters, and the exact treatment of a system of point clusters in the continuum), to conclude that the alleged transitions of the one-dimensional GEM4 system are likely just crossovers.

description: Recovering a stochastic process from noisy ensembles of single particle trajectories (SPTs) is resolved here using the Langevin equation as a model. The massive redundancy contained in SPTs data allows recovering local parameters of the underlying physical model. We use several parametric and non-parametric estimators to compute the first and second moment of the process and to recover the local drift, its derivative and the diffusion tensor. Using a local asymptotic expansion of the estimators and computing the empirical transition probability function, we develop here a method to deconvolve the instrumental from the physical noise. We use numerical simulations to explore the range of validity for the estimators. The present analysis allows characterizing what can exactly be recovered from the statistics of super-resolution microscopy trajectories used in molecular trafficking and underlying cellular function.

description: SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, may be transmitted via airborne droplets or contact with surfaces onto which droplets have deposited. In this study, the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to survive in the dark, at two different relative humidity values and within artificial saliva, a clinically relevant matrix, was investigated. SARS-CoV-2 was found to be stable, in the dark, in a dynamic small particle aerosol under the four experimental conditions we tested and viable virus could still be detected after 90 minutes. The decay rate and half-life was determined and decay rates ranged from 0.4 to 2.27 % per minute and the half lives ranged from 30 to 177 minutes for the different conditions. This information can be used for advice and modelling and potential mitigation strategies.

Political Identity & Online Dating: A Mixed-Methods Approach to Understanding Political Identity Expression
Creators: name: Collier, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Research has highlighted the transformation of politics from ideology to identity as well as the influence of politics in nonpolitical contexts. The present thesis extends these branches of literature by examining politics as identity within a context where individuals are unaware of the political beliefs of their audience: online dating sites. Using a social identity approach, the author conducts a content analysis of 1,000 profiles from a popular online dating site to explore the content that individuals choose to disclose. The author also conducts an experiment with 144 undergraduates to measure importance of political identity and willingness to disclose information on dating sites. Results suggest that political identity is not readily expressed on online dating sites and despite the measured importance of the identity, salience cannot influence expression of political identity. Implications are important for the study of politics as a social identity as well as indirect influences on polarization.
Pinning and elastic properties of vortex matter in highly strained Nb$_{75}$Zr$_{25}$: Analogy with viscous flow of disordered solids

description: We present the results of magnetization and magneto-transport measurements in the superconducting state of an as-cast Nb$_{75}$Zr$_{25}$ alloy. We also report the careful investigation of the microstructure of our sample at various length scales by using optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies. The information of microstructure is used to understand the flux pinning properties in the superconducting state within the framework of collective pinning. The magneto-transport measurements show a non-Arrhenius behaviour of the temperature and field dependent resistivity in the flux flow region. This non-Arrhenius behaviour is understood in terms of a model, which was originally proposed for viscous flow of disordered solids and is popularly known in the literature as the `shoving' model. The activation energy for flux flow is obtained from magneto-transport measurements and is assumed to be mainly the elastic energy stored in the flux-line lattice. The scaling of pinning force density with respect to reduced field indicates the presence of two pinning mechanisms of different origins. The elastic constants of the flux-line lattice are estimated from magnetization measurements and are used to estimate the length scale of vortex lattice movement, or the volume displaced by the flux-line lattice, during flux flow. It appears that the vortex lattice displacement estimated from elastic energy considerations is of the same order of magnitude as that of the flux-bundle hopping length when a finite resistance appears during flux flow. Our results could provide possible directions for establishing a framework where vortex matter and glass forming liquids or amorphous solids can be treated in a similar manner for understanding the phenomenon of viscous flow in disordered solids or more generally the pinning and depinning properties of elastic manifolds in random media.
Quadratic invariants of the elasticity tensor

description: We study the quadratic invariants of the elasticity tensor in the framework of its unique irreducible decomposition. The key point is that this decomposition generates the direct sum reduction of the elasticity tensor space. The corresponding subspaces are completely independent and even orthogonal relative to the Euclidean (Frobenius) scalar product. We construct a basis set of seven quadratic invariants that emerge in a natural and systematic way. Moreover, the completeness of this basis and the independence of the basis tensors follow immediately from the direct sum representation of the elasticity tensor space. We define the Cauchy factor of an anisotropic material as a dimensionless measure of a closeness to a pure Cauchy material and a similar isotropic factor is as a measure for a closeness of an anisotropic material to its isotropic prototype. For cubic crystals, these factors are explicitly displayed and cubic crystal average of an arbitrary elastic material is derived.

description: In this paper we determine those bijective maps of the set of all positive definite $n\times n$ complex matrices which preserve a given Bregman divergence corresponding to a differentiable convex function that satisfies certain conditions. We cover the cases of the most important Bregman divergences and present the precise structure of the mentioned transformations. Similar results concerning Jensen divergences and their preservers are also given.

description: Define $$D_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2x^k(x+1)^{n-k}\ \ \ \mbox{for}\ n=0,1,2,\ldots$$ and $$s_n(x)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1n\binom nk\binom n{k-1}x^{k-1}(x+1)^{n-k}\ \ \ \mbox{for}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots.$$ Then $D_n(1)$ is the $n$-th central Delannoy number $D_n$, and $s_n(1)$ is the $n$-th little Schröder number $s_n$. In this paper we obtain some surprising arithmetic properties of $D_n(x)$ and $s_n(x)$. We show that $$\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}D_k(x)s_{k+1}(x)\in\mathbb Z[x(x+1)]\ \quad\mbox{for all}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots.$$ Moreover, for any odd prime $p$ and $p$-adic integer $x\not\equiv0,-1\pmod p$, we establish the supercongruence $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}D_k(x)s_{k+1}(x)\equiv0\pmod{p^2}.$$ As an application we confirm Conjecture 5.5 in [S14a], in particular we prove that $$\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}T_kM_k(-3)^{n-1-k}\in\mathbb Z\quad\mbox{for all}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots,$$ where $T_k$ is the $k$-th central trinomial coefficient and $M_k$ is the $k$-th Motzkin number.
