description: The new conjugates of mycophenolic acid (MPA) were obtained in the reaction of N6-(ω-aminoalkyl)adenosines with MPA in the presence of EDCI as a coupling reagent. New compounds 4a–h were evaluated on leukemia cell line (Jurkat) and PBMC from healthy donors. Length of the linker influenced observed activity. The compound 4b possessing 1,3-diamine spacer exhibited the most promising results and can be considered to further investigations.

description: Cumacea (Crustacea, Peracarida) are an important component of soft-bottom macrofauna. Their assemblages are influenced by environmental parameters, including the presence of alien species. Cumacean assemblages from 443 samples collected between 2005 and 2012, at 148 sites along the Israeli Mediterranean coast were analysed. In all, the 31,508 cumaceans were identified to 18 species. Three of the species, Eocuma rosae, E. sarsii and Scherocumella gurneyi, are considered alien for the Mediterranean Sea. Pseudocuma longicorne, S. gurneyi and Cumopsis goodsir were the most abundant species in our samples. Cumacean densities were significantly higher in spring than in autumn, except on the shelf, where the opposite was observed. At the deeper sites (55–63 m) species composition changed between seasons, suggesting a migration of some shallow-bottom dwellers (P. longicorne, Iphinoe spp.) into deeper waters in wintertime. Comparison among years revealed great differences in density, especially in P. longicorne, which experienced an outbreak in 2009. Although seasonal changes may be explained by the natural dynamics of the species' life cycles, inter-annual variability is more difficult to explain. It may be related to environmental changes and especially to the infralittoral hypernutrification along the southern Israeli coast, causing an increase in food availability. Cumacean alien species occurred only in Haifa Bay.

description: Establishing dense correspondences across semantically similar images is one of the challenging tasks due to the significant intra-class variations and background clutters. To solve these problems, numerous methods have been proposed, focused on learning feature extractor or cost aggregation independently, which yields sub-optimal performance. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for jointly learning feature extraction and cost aggregation for semantic correspondence. By exploiting the pseudo labels from each module, the networks consisting of feature extraction and cost aggregation modules are simultaneously learned in a boosting fashion. Moreover, to ignore unreliable pseudo labels, we present a confidence-aware contrastive loss function for learning the networks in a weakly-supervised manner. We demonstrate our competitive results on standard benchmarks for semantic correspondence.

description: Studies indicate that in America, humans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where  pollutant concentrations often reach 2 to 5 times higher levels than outdoor air (US EPA, 2017). The  built environment significantly influences occupant comfort and health. Sick building syndrome is an  illness associated with polluted indoor environments and causes various non-specific illnesses in  building occupants (Joshi, 2008). The number of reported cases of sick building syndrome increases  absenteeism and reduces the productivity of occupants (US EPA, 2013). Among the many factors that  are linked with the occurrence of illnesses related to the sick building syndrome, interior finishes such  as paints, wall boards, ceiling boards, carpets, wood products, adhesives, and sealants play a crucial  role (Wai & Willem, 2011). 
There is precedence for hazardous building materials being zoned out or banned in construction.  Asbestos, which was once a widely used material for building construction, is now a known  carcinogen and was banned by the EPA in 1989 under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (US  EPA, 2013). However, there are still numerous materials that are used in construction whose toxic  effects haven’t been studied. Since the early 2000s, health initiatives targeting the built environment  through material health declaration programs have enhanced our understanding of the hazards posed  by toxic substances in building materials. Consequently, there has been substantial research and  industry efforts to select healthier material alternatives. 
This study aims to analyze five case studies to comprehend typical material specifications for  classroom spaces. The scope of methodology demonstration is limited to grade 5 and 6 classrooms.  Ingredient disclosures such as Health Product Declarations (HPDs) and the 'Informed' tool developed  by Habitable, formerly known as the Healthy Building Network-HBN are utilized as references.  Evaluating classroom design specifications through the lens of healthy materials and cross-referencing  disparate material libraries across various domains can help mitigate health risks associated with toxic  building materials for children. 
Subsequently, a scoring method is developed based on material composition to inform stakeholders of  the broader impact of toxic substances on children's health and identify gaps in material knowledge  that require assessment. Additionally, the study explores the use of virtual reality as a tool to enhance  the accessibility of this information to clients and occupants.

description: This socio-historical paper explores how bilingual school teachers in the past responded to competing Francophone and Anglophone ideological cultural reproduction discourses in their curriculum practices. An in depth study of the cultural curriculum of 265 teachers who taught in public schools in French-speaking communities in Alberta during the period 1934 to 1939 sheds some light on how the exercise of power can influence teachers ' decisions to either give legitimacy or resist reproducing in their classrooms certain forms of know ledge and cultural orientations .

description: Consistent motion estimation is fundamental for all mobile autonomous systems. While this sounds like an easy task, often, it is not the case because of changing environmental conditions affecting odometry obtained from vision, Lidar, or the wheels themselves. Unsusceptible to challenging lighting and weather conditions, radar sensors are an obvious alternative. Usually, automotive radars return a sparse point cloud, representing the surroundings. Utilizing this information to motion estimation is challenging due to unstable and phantom measurements, which result in a high rate of outliers. We introduce a credible and robust probabilistic approach to estimate the ego-motion based on these challenging radar measurements; intended to be used within a loosely-coupled sensor fusion framework. Compared to existing solutions, evaluated on the popular nuScenes dataset and others, we show that our proposed algorithm is more credible while not depending on explicit correspondence calculation.

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article provides an initial theoretical discussion of some student and instructor narratives from an action research project in a preservice secondary English methods course. The course attempted to take up a concern for promoting dialogue around race, class, and gender within a notion of curriculum as the construction of culturally significant domains for conversation. Particular attention is focused on the planned debriefing session immediately following the pre service students' first practicum experience, seen as an important opportunity for bridging theory and practice. The paper draws attention to the complexities and tensions for students and instructor a like during these debriefing sessions. The article discusses an expanded role for the instructor within the constraints and possibilities of the debriefing session as one discursive site in the conceptualization of any program-wide age and for multicultural teacher education.

description: The advantages of interweaving drama into education appear numerous as opportunities exist for improved literacy, multiple interpretations, increased collaboration, and problem solving. However, drama may not be playing out the liberatory role for which it was intended. Inspired by Foucault, it is this paper's intent to unmask the discursive practices inherent in drama as they occur in education. Power relations are revealed. Subjects are exposed. Strategies are unraveled. Resistance to controlling ideology and methodology is encouraged.

description: The linearization of the equations of motion of a robotics system about a given state-input trajectory, including a controlled equilibrium state, is a valuable tool for model-based planning, closed-loop control, gain tuning, and state estimation. Contrary to the case of fixed based manipulators with prismatic or rotary joints, the state space of moving-base robotic systems such as humanoids, quadruped robots, or aerial manipulators cannot be globally parametrized by a finite number of independent coordinates. This impossibility is a direct consequence of the fact that the state of these systems includes the system's global orientation, formally described as an element of the special orthogonal group SO(3). As a consequence, obtaining the linearization of the equations of motion for these systems is typically resolved, from a practical perspective, by locally parameterizing the system's attitude by means of, e.g., Euler or Cardan angles. This has the drawback, however, of introducing artificial parameterization singularities and extra derivative computations. In this contribution, we show that it is actually possible to define a notion of linearization that does not require the use of a local parameterization for the system's orientation, obtaining a mathematically elegant, recursive, and singularity-free linearization for moving-based robot systems. Recursiveness, in particular, is obtained by proposing a nontrivial modification of existing recursive algorithms to allow for computations of the geometric derivatives of the inverse dynamics and the inverse of the mass matrix of the robotic system. The correctness of the proposed algorithm is validated by means of a numerical comparison with the result obtained via geometric finite difference.

The Use of Language in Reflective Teaching: Implications for Self-Understanding
Creators: name: Webb, P. Taylor
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Monologic models of reflection do not adequately explain how teachers come to know. Monologic conceptions of reflection use language in individual and isolated ways. This paper critiques these conceptions of reflection and suggests that individual cognitive models of reflection can perpetuate poor pedagogy. I argue that this pedagogical irony is established once reflection is conceived of as a state of cogito where language is subjugated to an objective and rationalistic function within independent pedagogical queries. Alternatively, it is with biases, I argue, that teachers initially frame events to reflect upon. Through language - dialogue - I suggest that teachers can better understand their reflections, t heir practice, and eventually themselves. I draw largely on three arguments that challenge agent- centered epistemologies that, in turn, implicate the beliefs of teachers and the norm a lizing discourse of education in teachers' pedagogical decisions. I conclude with aspects of Hans-Georg Gadamer's thoughts towards the development of a richer conception of reflective practice and self understanding.

description: Accretion and ejection of matter in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are tightly connected phenomena and represent fundamental mechanisms regulating the growth of the central supermassive black hole and the evolution of the host galaxy. However, the exact physical processes involved are not yet fully understood. We present a high-resolution spectral analysis of a simultaneous \xmm\ and \nustar\ observation of the narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) AGN 1H 1934-063, during which the X-ray flux dropped by a factor of $\sim6$ and subsequently recovered within 140 kiloseconds. By means of the time-resolved and flux-resolved X-ray spectroscopy, we discover a potentially variable warm absorber and a relatively stable ultra-fast outflow (UFO, $v_\mathrm{UFO}\sim-0.075\,c$) with a mild ionization state ($\log(ξ/\mathrm{erg\,cm\,s^{-1})}\sim1.6$). The detected emission lines (especially a strong and broad feature around 1\,keV) are of unknown origin and cannot be explained with emission from plasmas in photo- or collisional-ionization equilibrium. Such emission lines could be well described by a strongly blueshifted ($z\sim-0.3$) secondary reflection off the base of the equatorial outflows, which may reveal the link between the reprocessing of the inner accretion flow photons and the ejection. However, this scenario although being very promising is only tentative and will be tested with future observations.

description: In this research paper, we designed and simulated a 3D Bragg grating-based optomechanical sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics software. This sensor is built upon a single-mode symmetric slab waveguide featuring planar Bragg gratings. It was designed with core dimensions in the sub-micron range, allowing for seamless integration into the evolving field of miniaturized photonic circuits. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first comprehensive 3D coupled finite element analysis aimed at understanding the mechanical stress-induced effects on electromagnetic wave simulations. This study serves as a crucial reference point for guiding the design and experimentation of optomechanical sensors.
description: Silicon photonics has shown great potential in bringing together mechanical probes and optical cavity as compact sensors for many sensing applications. In this work, we present the integration of a waveguide Bragg grating (WBG) onto a cantilever beam, utilizing a Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure as an optomechanical sensor for atomic force microscopy (AFM). The flexibility of the COMSOL Multiphysics software enables us to model the mechanical characteristics of the cantilever and link the mechanical bending effects to the optical transmission simulations. Within these simulations, the nanoscale force applied to the cantilever tip results in cantilever beam deformation, represented by a picometer scale shift in optical resonance frequency. The simulation is carried out for the proposed Bragg grating design, featuring 80 gratings, and attains a force sensitivity approximately 16 m/N, corresponding to a cantilever stiffness 0.06 N/m.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical molecules of carbon with diverse commercial applications. CNTs are also lightweight, easily airborne, and have been shown to be released during various phases of production and use. Therefore, as global CNT production increases, so do concerns that CNTs could pose a safety threat to those who are exposed to them. This makes it imperative to fully understand CNT release scenarios to make accurate risk assessments and to implement effective control measures. However, the current suite of direct-reading and off-line instrumentation used to monitor the release of CNTs in workplaces lack high chemical specificity, which complicates risk assessments when the sampling and/or measurements are performed at a single site where multiple CNT types are handled in the presence of naturally occurring background particles, or dust. Herein, we demonstrate the utility of Raman spectroscopy to unequivocally identify whether particulate matter collected from a multi-user analytical balance workstation comprised CNTs, as well as, whether the contamination included CNTs that were synthesized by a Ni/Y-catalyzed electric-arc method or a Co/Mo-catalyzed chemical vapor deposition method. Identifying the exact CNT type generated a more accurate risk assessment by knowing the metallic impurities involved, and it also led to the identification of the users who handled these CNTs, a review of their handling techniques, and an improved protocol for safely weighing CNTs.

description: Autoscaling is a critical component for efficient resource utilization with satisfactory quality of service (QoS) in cloud computing. This paper investigates proactive autoscaling for widely-used scaling-per-query applications where scaling is required for each query, such as container registry and function-as-a-service (FaaS). In these scenarios, the workload often exhibits high uncertainty with complex temporal patterns like periodicity, noises and outliers. Conservative strategies that scale out unnecessarily many instances lead to high resource costs whereas aggressive strategies may result in poor QoS. We present RobustScaler to achieve superior trade-off between cost and QoS. Specifically, we design a novel autoscaling framework based on non-homogeneous Poisson processes (NHPP) modeling and stochastically constrained optimization. Furthermore, we develop a specialized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to efficiently train the NHPP model, and rigorously prove the QoS guarantees delivered by our optimization-based proactive strategies. Extensive experiments show that RobustScaler outperforms common baseline autoscaling strategies in various real-world traces, with large margins for complex workload patterns.

description: The silver–gold epithermal mining district, Manantial Espejo, is located southwest of the Deseado Massif, Patagonia. The district is set into Jurassic volcaniclastic rocks of the Bahía Laura Group. A geological map of the district, at a scale of 1:50,000 drawn over a base map prepared from the fusion of satellite imagery and aerial photographs, is included. A suite of andesitic to rhyolitic eruptive units was identified, with prevailing high-grade rhyolitic ignimbrites. Travertine levels show the beginning of a hot-spring system in the region. Quartz veins, with typical crustiform–colloform banded structures, fill WNW, sub-vertical, normal faults, originating from extensional tectonics. The silicification of travertines, tuffs and breccia is the most common hydrothermal alteration.

It is shown that the photon emissions for bimodal cavities exhibit a high single photon purity and relatively large intracavity photon numbers, which are ascribed to the combination of optical Stark shift enhanced energy-spectrum anharmonicity and quantum interference suppressed two-photon excitation. Our scheme generates photon-photon pairs with strong photon blockade for cavity modes via constructing a highly tunable cavity-enhanced deterministic parametric down-conversion process. Furthermore, we show that the cross-correlation function between the two cavity modes vastly violates the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality of the classical boundary, which unambiguously demonstrates the nonclassicality of the single-photon pairs. Our result reveals a prominent strategy to generate the high-quality two-mode single-photon sources with strong nonclassical correlation, which could provide versatile applications in distribution of quantum networks, long distance quantum communication, and fundamental tests of quantum physics.

description: In the United States, a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions are from personal vehicle use, and there are large differences in emissions between the most and least efficient vehicles. We use data from 2009 US National Household Travel Survey to characterize consumers who drive the most and least efficient vehicles. We calculate personal fleet efficiency based on all vehicles owned, reflecting the behavioral aspect of vehicle-use choices by owners. Though higher incomes provide the means to purchase more efficient vehicles, we find those with higher incomes more likely to drive low-efficiency vehicles. Higher education levels correlate with greater vehicle efficiency. While some efficiency differences are based on consumer characteristics such as family size, we find large differences that we attribute mostly to cultural preferences as observed by race, region, etc. From a policy perspective, these differences are of particular interest since they may be amenable to change.

description: The auhtors report 3D biomimetic scaffolds using polymer blend of polyurethane and cellulose for cardiac tissue engineering. The biocompatible and biodegradable polyurethane is designed, synthesized and characterized. By incorporating 10 wt% of naturally ordered cellulose into the polyurethane and electrospinning them into 3D scaffold, the scaffold exhibits good biocompatibility and mechanical property to support and accommodate constant cycles of contraction/expansion of cardiac tissue. The biocompatibility is further improved using scaffold fabricated from aligned fibers due to synergistic effects between cells and ordered macromolecules. The anisotropic structured scaffold is mimicked the extracellular matrix and has therapeutic potential in reconstruction of damaged myocardium.

description: Massive false rumors emerging along with breaking news or trending topics severely hinder the truth. Existing rumor detection approaches achieve promising performance on the yesterday's news, since there is enough corpus collected from the same domain for model training. However, they are poor at detecting rumors about unforeseen events especially those propagated in different languages due to the lack of training data and prior knowledge (i.e., low-resource regimes). In this paper, we propose an adversarial contrastive learning framework to detect rumors by adapting the features learned from well-resourced rumor data to that of the low-resourced. Our model explicitly overcomes the restriction of domain and/or language usage via language alignment and a novel supervised contrastive training paradigm. Moreover, we develop an adversarial augmentation mechanism to further enhance the robustness of low-resource rumor representation. Extensive experiments conducted on two low-resource datasets collected from real-world microblog platforms demonstrate that our framework achieves much better performance than state-of-the-art methods and exhibits a superior capacity for detecting rumors at early stages.

Year: 2018

description: This paper re-examines the social philosophy of John Stuart Mill, with special emphasis on his views regarding freedom, education, and social reform. It is concluded that Mill's individualism is less unbending than it is often described , that a definite conflict between freedom and control is one of the more salient characteristics of his work, and that the complexity of his social thought is such that we need to proceed cautiously in drawing educational inferences from his writing.

G-quadruplex: a multifunction DNA structure with great potential

description: G-quadruplex DNA has great potential for use in many biochemical applications. In the field of nucleic acid nanotechnology, G-quadruplexes can facilitate chemical reactions, mimicking the function of an enzyme when bound to hemin, collectively referred to as G-quadruplex/hemin (abbv. GQH). However, in many published studies, GQH shows unstable and inconsistent catalytic activities, especially regarding the suicide inactivation of GQH, often observed when using it as a peroxidase replacement in reactions. The unstable catalysis of GQH limits its biotechnological applications. Here, we report how varied environmental conditions and the use of different substrates influence inactivation kinetics of GQH, while posing potential solutions to improve the catalytic stability of GQH over long reaction periods. These solutions include optimization of pH condition, protection of hemin through the utilization of polyhistidine chains, and generation of H2O2 utilizing enzyme cascades. Specifically in a cascade reaction of GOx – GQH, GOx converts glucose to H2O2, which can then be utilized by GQH for oxidation of Amplex Red, rather than using high concentration of H2O2. The residual activity of GQH is more stable over time in this cascade, presumably due to the low intermediate H2O2 concentration reducing oxidative damage done to hemin. We also report and confirm previously demonstrated results of protection of hemin from damage through utilization of polypeptide-DNAzyme aggregates. Interestingly, we demonstrate a trade-off in overall initial reaction rate with long-term catalytic activity. That is, unprotected GQH had higher initial velocities at the reaction onset than protected complexes, but protected complexes significantly outperformed the unprotected DNAzyme after only 15 minutes of incubation with H2O2. Overall, our results characterize the inherent inactivation kinetics of the peroxidase-mimicking GQH DNAzyme caused by product color depletion and hemin inactivation in the presence of H2O2 across a variety of environmental conditions. We also explored potential options as detailed above to improve the stability of GQH catalysis. With these results, we hope to provide potentially useful kinetic information for future applications of GQH in biomimetic systems, DNA-based nanotechnologies, and other future applications. We also report a potentially useful future application of the GQ structure in the assembly of DNA nanowires for the efficient transfer of photon energy across nanodevices.

description: Human dipeptidyl peptidase III (hDPP III), a zinc-metallopeptidase of the family M49, is an activator of the Keap1-Nrf2 cytoprotective pathway involved in defense against oxidative stress. Pathophysiological roles of DPP III have not been elucidated yet, partly due to the lack of specific inhibitors. We showed that substrate analog H-Tyr-Phe-NHOH is a strong competitive inhibitor of hDPP III, while H-Tyr-Gly-NHOH expresses much weaker inhibition. To investigate the effects of amino acid substitutions in inhibitor P1 position, we synthesized three new dipeptidyl hydroxamates and examined their influence on the activity of hDPP III and DPP III from the human gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The extent of inhibition of hDPP III, but not of bacterial enzyme, was dependent on the amino acid in P1. H-Phe-Phe-NHOH is recognized as one of the strongest inhibitors of hDPP III (Ki = 0.028 μM), and H-Phe-Leu-NHOH discriminated between human and bacterial ortholog of the M49 family.
