description: The ATLAS and CMS collaborations observed a mild excess in the associated Higgs production with a top-quark pair ($t\bar t h$) and reported the signal strengths of $ μ_{tth}^{\rm ATLAS}=1.81\pm 0.80$ and $μ_{tth}^{\rm CMS}=2.75\pm 0.99 $ based on the data collected at $\sqrt{s}$= 7 and 8 TeV. Although, at the current stage, there is no obvious indication whether the excess is real or due to statistical fluctuations, here we perform a case study of this mild excess by exploiting the strong entanglement between the associated Higgs production with a single top quark ($thX$) and $t\bar t h$ production in the presence of anomalous top-Yukawa coupling. As well known, $t\bar t h$ production only depends on the absolute value of the top-Yukawa coupling. Meanwhile, in $thX$ production, this degeneracy is lifted through the strong interference between the two main contributions which are proportional to the top-Yukawa and the gauge-Higgs couplings, respectively. Especially, when the relative sign of the top-Yukawa coupling with respect to the gauge-Higgs coupling is reversed, the $thX$ cross section can be enhanced by more than one order of magnitude. We perform a detailed study of the influence of $thX$ production on $t\bar{t}h $ production in the presence of the anomalous top-Yukawa coupling and point out that it is crucial to include $thX$ production in the analysis of the $t\bar t h$ data to pin down the sign and the size of the top-Yukawa coupling in future. While assuming the Standard Model (SM) value for the gauge-Higgs coupling, we vary the top-Yukawa coupling within the range allowed by the current LHC Higgs data. We consider the Higgs decay modes into multileptons, $b\bar b$ and $γγ$ putting a particular emphasis on the same sign dilepton events. We also discuss ...

description: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus is a positive-stranded RNA virus of the family Arteriviridae. The Gp5/M dimer, the major component of the viral envelope, is required for virus budding and is an antibody target. We used alphafold2, an artificial-intelligence-based system, to predict a credible structure of Gp5/M. The short disulfide-linked ectodomains lie flat on the membrane, with the exception of the erected N-terminal helix of Gp5, which contains the antibody epitopes and a hypervariable region with a changing number of carbohydrates. The core of the dimer consists of six curved and tilted transmembrane helices, and three are from each protein. The third transmembrane regions extend into the cytoplasm as amphiphilic helices containing the acylation sites. The endodomains of Gp5 and M are composed of seven β-strands from each protein, which interact via β-strand seven. The area under the membrane forms an open cavity with a positive surface charge. The M and Orf3a proteins of coronaviruses have a similar structure, suggesting that all four proteins are derived from the same ancestral gene. Orf3a, like Gp5/M, is acylated at membrane-proximal cysteines. The role of Gp5/M during virus replication is discussed, in particular the mechanisms of virus budding and models of antibody-dependent virus neutralization.

description: This publication is a new original work for Trumpet (doubling on Flugel Horn), trombone and electronic guitar, commissioned by Ensemble Three. This work is a dramatic re-writing of a much earlier solo guitar work that I wrote during my Doctorate. It features a very active electric guitar part, around which the trumpet/flugel horn and trombone hover. I was a little alarmed at first when I started writing this piece, due to the unusual instrumentation of Ensemble Three, however it quickly became clear that this stunning group of musicians functioned as such a clear and communicative unit, and I became alot more confident that they would be able to assemble the unusual Hendrix-esk thing that I wrote.

Viscous effects on the acoustics and stability of a shear layer over an impedance wall

description: The effect of viscosity and thermal conduction on the acoustics in a shear layer above an impedance wall is investigated numerically and asymptotically by solving the compressible linearised Navier-Stokes equations. It is found that viscothermal effects can be as important as shear, and therefore including shear while neglecting viscothermal effects by solving the linearised Euler equations is questionable. In particular, the damping rate of upstream propagating waves is found to be dramatically under-predicted by the LEE in certain instances. The effects of viscosity on stability are also found to be important. Short wavelength disturbances are stabilised by viscosity, greatly altering the characteristic wavelength and maximum growth rate of instability. For the parameters typical of aeroacoustic simulations considered here, the Reynolds number below which the flow stabilizes ranges from $10^5$ to $10^7$. By assuming a thin but nonzero-thickness boundary layer, asymptotic analysis leads to a system of boundary layer governing equations for the acoustics. This system may be solved numerically to produce an effective impedance boundary condition, applicable at the wall of a uniform inviscid flow, that accounts for both the shear and viscosity within the boundary layer. An alternative asymptotic analysis in the high frequency limit yields a different set of equations with analytic solutions. The acoustic mode shapes and axial wavenumbers from both asymptotic analyses compare well with numerical solutions of the full LNSE. A closed-form effective impedance boundary condition is derived from the high-frequency asymptotics, suitable for application in frequency-domain numerical simulations. Finally, surface waves are considered, and it is shown that a viscous flow over an impedance lining supports a greater number of surface wave modes than an inviscid flow.

description: We present a numerical and analytical study of incompressible homogeneous conducting fluids using a helical Fourier representation. We analytically study both small- and large-scale dynamo properties, as well as the inverse cascade of magnetic helicity, in the most general minimal subset of interacting velocity and magnetic fields on a closed Fourier triad. We mainly focus on the dependency of magnetic field growth as a function of the distribution of kinetic and magnetic helicities among the three interacting wavenumbers. By combining direct numerical simulations of the full magnetohydrodynamics equations with the helical Fourier decomposition we numerically confirm that in the kinematic dynamo regime the system develops a large-scale magnetic helicity with opposite sign compared to the small-scale kinetic helicity, a sort of triad-by-triad $α$-effect in Fourier space. Concerning the small-scale perturbations, we predict theoretically and confirm numerically that the largest instability is achieved for the magnetic component with the same helicity of the flow, in agreement with the Stretch-Twist-Fold mechanism. Vice versa, in presence of a Lorentz feedback on the velocity, we find that the inverse cascade of magnetic helicity is mostly local if magnetic and kinetic helicities have opposite sign, while it is more nonlocal and more intense if they have the same sign, as predicted by the analytical approach. Our analytical and numerical results further demonstrate the potential of the helical Fourier decomposition to elucidate the entangled dynamics of magnetic and kinetic helicities both in fully developed turbulence and in laminar flows.

description: This paper studies nonparametric identification in market level demand models for differentiated products. We generalize common models by allowing for the distribution of heterogeneity parameters (random coefficients) to have a nonparametric distribution across the population and give conditions under which the density of the random coef- ficients is identified. We show that key identifying restrictions are provided by (i) a set of moment conditions generated by instrumental variables together with an inversion of aggregate demand in unobserved product characteristics; and (ii) an integral transform (Radon transform) that maps the random coefficient density to the aggregate demand. This feature is shown to be common across a wide class of models, and we illustrate this by studying leading demand models. Our examples include demand models based on the multinomial choice (Berry, Levinsohn, Pakes, 1995), the choice of bundles of goods that can be substitutes or complements, and the choice of goods consumed in multiple units.

description: We construct exact initial data for closed cosmological models filled with regularly arranged black holes in the presence of $Λ$. The intrinsic geometry of the 3-dimensional space described by this data is a sum of simple closed-form expressions, while the extrinsic curvature is just proportional to $Λ$. We determine the mass of each of the black holes in this space by performing a limiting procedure around the location of each of the black holes, and then compare the result to an appropriate slice through the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. The consequences of the inhomogeneity of this model for the large-scale expansion of space are then found by comparing the lengths of curves in the cosmological region to similar curves in a suitably chosen Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) solution. Finally, we locate the positions of the apparent horizons of the black holes, and determine the extremal values of their mass, for every possible regular arrangement of masses. We find that as the number of black holes is increased, the large-scale expansion of space approaches that of an FLRW model filled with dust and $Λ$, and that the extremal values of the black hole masses approaches that of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution.

description: An important synthetic route for the fluorinated organic compounds is electrochemical fluorination (ECF). This is a process taking place on a nickel anode immersed in anhydrous HF. Even though the mechanism is not fully resolved, it is believed that it involves higher valent nickel fluorides formed on the anode. One such compound could be NiF4. Its synthesis and existence have been reported in the literature. However, its crystal structure has so far remained unknown. In this paper, we present, for the first time, the theoretical study of the possible crystal structure of NiF4. We investigated six crystal structures of known metal tetrafluorides as possible candidates for NiF4 by periodic DFT, with the PBE+U method. Of the investigated structures, the most stable polymorph of NiF4 was found to be of the same crystal structure as RuF4. The unit cell parameters were calculated to be a = 4.80 Å, b = 5.14 Å, c = 5.18 Å and β = 105.26 ∘ . All but one of the investigated structures feature octahedrally coordinated nickel centers with two non-bridging fluorine atoms. In the structure originating from ZrF4, all six fluorine atoms around the nickel centers are bridging and two are located in the vacancies around the nickel skeleton, not directly bound to nickel. The overall magnetic arrangement in all the investigated structures is antiferromagnetic. A comparison with other binary nickel fluorides supports the experimental findings that NiF4 is thermodynamically the least stable.

description: Proteome analyses can be used to detect biomarkers for the healthy and diseased organism. However, data in cats are scarce, and no information is available on the potential impact of nutritional interventions on the feline urine proteome. In the present study, a label-free shotgun proteomics approach was performed to investigate the urinary proteins of four healthy adult cats. Each animal received a high-protein complete diet without (w/o) or with supplements that could affect the protein metabolism: arginine (+100% compared to the arginine concentration in the w/o diet), ornithine (+200% compared to the arginine concentration in the w/o diet) or zeolite (0.375 g/kg body weight/day). Our results demonstrate a huge number of proteins in the urine of cats (516 ± 49, 512 ± 39, 399 ± 149 and 455 ± 134 in the w/o, arginine, ornithine and zeolite group, respectively), which are associated with several biological processes. In addition, up- and downregulated urinary proteins could be detected in the dietary supplementation periods. Overall, the present pilot study provides basic data on the urine proteome of healthy adult cats. With increasing information, the numerousness of urinary proteins implies the potential to identify biomarkers and metabolic pathways in the feline organism.
Rotations of small, inertialess triaxial ellipsoids in isotropic turbulence

description: The statistics of rotational motion of small, inertialess triaxial ellipsoids are computed along Lagrangian trajectories extracted from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The particle angular velocity and its components along the three principal axes of the particle are considered, expanding on the results presented by \citet{ChevillardMeneveau13}. The variance of the particle angular velocity, referred to as the particle enstrophy, is found to increase for particles with elongated shapes. This trend is explained by considering the contributions of vorticity and strain-rate to particle rotation. It is found that the majority of particle enstrophy is due to fluid vorticity. Strain-rate-induced rotations, which are sensitive to shape, are mostly cancelled by strain-vorticity interactions. The remainder of the strain-rate-induced rotations are responsible for weak variations in particle enstrophy. For particles of all shapes, the majority of the enstrophy is in rotations about the longest axis, which is due to alignment between the longest axis and fluid vorticity. The integral timescale for particle angular velocities about each axis reveals that rotations are most persistent about the longest axis, but that a full revolution is rare.

description: In this study, water-rock interaction, salinity sources, evolution, and the mixing of groundwater were modelled. The objectives of this research are to understand the hydrogeochemical factors that govern groundwater composition in a shallow aquifer system, Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. The study aquifer is called a Quaternary aquifer, which is composed of gravel, sand, sandstone, and intercalated with some shale. In this study, 80 groundwater samples have been collected and analyzed for major ions and 30 representative samples were analyzed for Oxygen-18 (δ18O) and Deuterium (δD). NETPATH and environmental isotopes were integrated and applied to study the overall geochemical processes and to identify the salinity source in the groundwater. Saturation indices calculated for carbonates minerals indicates that 49%, 74%, and 61% of groundwater samples are undersaturated in terms of calcite, aragonite, and dolomite minerals, respectively. The remaining groundwater samples (51%, 39%, and 26%) are close to saturation with calcite, dolomite, and aragonite minerals, respectively. The saturation indices of gypsum, anhydrite, silica, strontionite, and sepiolite minerals show undersaturation in all groundwater samples, which is likely due to the dilution through the groundwater recharge from the surface runoff. In this study, water-rock interaction models were employed with the concentration of major ions of all selected groundwater samples, in addition to reference waters such as rain and sea waters, to evaluate the chemistry of groundwater in the flow path. Mixing calculations suggested that there is a variable contribution of rainwater (5% to 53%) in groundwater samples. The results indicate that evaporation and infiltration have a major impact on water chemistry in the study site. The intrusion of seawater at the coastal zone is well identified in some wells. Stable isotope data (δ18O and δD) support the results and underline the impact of evaporation processes on the groundwater and infiltration of evaporated water.

description: (1) Background: Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, the frequency of antibiotic use should be questioned in dentistry and attention paid to the choice of the best suited substance according to guidelines. In Germany, overprescribing of clindamycin was noteworthy in the past. Therefore, the aim of our study was to determine the trend of antibiotic prescriptions in primary dental care. (2) Methods: Prescriptions of antibiotics in German primary dental care from 2017 to 2021 were analysed using dispensing data from community pharmacies, claimed to the statutory health insurance (SHI) funds, and compared with all antibiotic prescriptions in primary care. Prescriptions were analysed based on defined daily doses per 1000 SHI-insured persons per day (DID). (3) Results: Amoxicillin was the most frequently prescribed antibiotic (0.505 DID in 2017, 0.627 in 2021, +24.2%) in primary dental care, followed by clindamycin (0.374 DID in 2017, 0.294 in 2021, −21.4%). Dental prescriptions still made up 56% of all clindamycin prescriptions in primary care in 2021. (4) Conclusions: Our study suggests that the problem of overuse of clindamycin in German dentistry has improved, but still persists.

description: We discuss the neutrino flavor structures in the Occam's razor approach for the Dirac neutrino mass matrices. We assume that the charged lepton mass matrix takes a diagonal base, while the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix is also diagonal and we consider nine patterns of the four zero textures for the Dirac neutrinos mass matrices. We numerically analyze the left-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices for nine patterns of the Dirac neutrino mass matrices and we found two interesting patterns where both normal and inverted neutrino mass hierarchies can be realized. We also found if the neutrino mass is normal hierarchy, this scenario will be likely to be excluded by the measurements of the Dirac CP violating phase in the T2K and NO$ν$A neutrino experiments, for instance. On the other hand, if the neutrino mass is inverted hierarchy, this scenario will be also likely to be excluded by the measurements of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments, e.g., KamLAND-Zen experiment.

description: Im Rahmen dieses Entwicklungsprojektes wurde ein Konzept für die Gestaltung von Reflexionssequenzen in der Psychomotoriktherapie entwickelt. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich Reflexionssequenzen in der Psychomotoriktherapie auf bestimmte Erfahrungsebenen beziehen lassen und wie die Reflexion mit Kindern in den verschiedenen Altersstufen konkret gestaltet werden kann. Auf Grundlage einer Literaturanalyse wurden Reflexionsideen für den psychomotorischen Alltag erarbeitet, welche mittels Fragebogen anhand quantitativer und qualitativer Daten auf ihre Praxistauglichkeit evaluiert wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die entwickelten Ideen auf mehrere Erfahrungsebenen beziehen lassen und sich die Reflexionsfähigkeit von Vor- und Primarschulkindern mit zunehmendem Alter immer mehr differenziert und erweitert. Die Ideensammlung wurde insgesamt als gut umsetzbar für die Praxis eingeschätzt.

description: The number of reported macrocyclic lactones (ML) resistance cases across all livestock hosts is steadily increasing. Different studies in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus assume the participation of cytochrome P450s (Cyps) enzymes in ML resistance. Still, functional data about their individual contribution to resistance or substrate specificity is missing. Via microinjection, transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans expressing HCON_00141052 (transgene-Hco-cyp-13A11) from extrachromosomal arrays were generated. After 24 h of exposure to different concentrations of ivermectin (IVM), ivermectin aglycone (IVMa), selamectin (SEL), doramectin (DRM), eprinomectin (EPR), and moxidectin (MOX), motility assays were performed to determine the impact of the H. contortus Cyp to the susceptibility of the worms against each ML. While transgene-Hco-cyp-13A11 significantly decreased susceptibility to IVM (four-fold), IVMa (2-fold), and SEL (3-fold), a slight effect for DRM and no effect for MOX, and EPR was observed. This substrate specificity of Hco-cyp-13A11 could not be explained by molecular modeling and docking studies. Hco-Cyp-13A11 molecular models were obtained for alleles from isolates with different resistance statuses. Although 14 amino acid polymorphisms were detected, none was resistance specific. In conclusion, Hco-cyp-13A11 decreased IVM, IVMa, and SEL susceptibility to a different extent, but its potential impact on ML resistance is not driven by polymorphisms.

description: We present expected values of the Single Spin Asymmetry (SSA) in $D$-meson production in the process $p+p^\uparrow \rightarrow D^0 + X $ at RHIC energy $(\sqrt{s}=200\text{ GeV})$ using a generalized parton model approach. We use fits to the gluon Sivers function obtained recently by D'Alesio {\it et al.,} by fitting to the asymmetry data for the process $p+p^\uparrow \rightarrow π^0+ X$ measured by the PHENIX collaboration at RHIC. These fits give peak asymmetry predictions which lie in a broad range, $0.5\%\lesssim A_N\lesssim10\%$ for the kinematic regions considered. This is to be compared with the upper bound of 18\% expected for the maximal gluon Sivers function. We extend our analysis to two other centre of mass energies of proposed experiments - AFTER@LHC $(\sqrt{s}=115\text{ GeV})$ and a future RHIC run $(\sqrt{s}=500\text{ GeV})$. We further investigate (at $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV) the effect of the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) evolution of the unpolarized parton distribution functions (pdf's) and of the gluon Sivers function on the asymmetry predictions. We perform this study using an evolution setup given by Anselmino {\it et al}. We find that the effect of evolution is an overall reduction of the asymmetry predictions. For example, for the saturated gluon Sivers function, upon taking into account TMD evolution, peak asymmetry predictions reduce by a factor 3 or more. This decrease is similar to that noticed earlier for Single Spin Asymmetries (SSA) in the electroproduction of $J/ψ$.

description: Having seen its desperate importance and the great efforts of the government in achieving good governance, this study stands to assess governance in public institutions entitled "an assessment of the prevalence of good governance(Transparency, Responsiveness and Accountability) of Revenue Sector: the Case of Gullele Sub city of Addis Ababa City Administration" The main objective of the study is assessing how far good governance is prevalent in public sector institutions and the research was conducted on five public institutions in Gullele Sub city of Addis Ababa City Administration. The study employed qualitative research methodology and data was collected through questionnaire method and the data obtained both from civil servants and service users together with the information obtained through interviews from selected officials. The descriptive analysis revealed that institutions are striving to achieve good governance practically in their institutions. Based on the analysis conducted using three core elements of good governance namely: Transparency, Responsiveness and accountability, different achievements and failures were observed. Frameworks and mechanisms for good governance implementation are found ready. The necessity of engaging the society in full scale participation, the need for trainings, workshop, seminars on good governance, increasing implementing capacity of the institutions, the necessity of using different mass medias for good governance issues , struggling against corruptions are recommended for amending the failures in public institutions in their attempts to achieve good governance.

description: Background: For improving health literacy (HL) by national and international public health policy, measuring population HL by a comprehensive instrument is needed. A short instrument, the HLS19-Q12 based on the HLS-EU-Q47, was developed, translated, applied, and validated in 17 countries in the WHO European Region. Methods: For factorial validity/dimensionality, Cronbach alphas, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Rasch model (RM), and Partial Credit Model (PCM) were used. For discriminant validity, correlation analysis, and for concurrent predictive validity, linear regression analysis were carried out. Results: The Cronbach alpha coefficients are above 0.7. The fit indices for the single-factor CFAs indicate a good model fit. Some items show differential item functioning in certain country data sets. The regression analyses demonstrate an association of the HLS19-Q12 score with social determinants and selected consequences of HL. The HLS19-Q12 score correlates sufficiently highly (r ≥ 0.897) with the equivalent score for the HLS19-Q47 long form. Conclusions: The HLS19-Q12, based on a comprehensive understanding of HL, shows acceptable psychometric and validity characteristics for different languages, country contexts, and methods of data collection, and is suitable for measuring HL in general, national, adult populations. There are also indications for further improvement of the instrument.

description: COVID-19 caused by a SARS-CoV-2 infection was first reported from Wuhan, China, and later recognized as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization (WHO). Gold standard nucleic acid and molecular-based testing have largely satisfied the requirements of early diagnosis and management of this infectious disease; however, these techniques are expensive and not readily available for point-of-care (POC) applications. The COVID-19 pandemic of the 21st century has emphasized that medicine is in dire need of advanced, rapid, and cheap diagnostic tools. Herein, we report on molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP-NPs/nanoMIPs) as plastic antibodies for the specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 by employing a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. High-affinity MIP-NPs directed against SARS-CoV-2 were manufactured using a solid-phase imprinting method. The MIP-NPs were then characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) prior to their incorporation into a label-free portable SPR device. Detection of SARS-CoV-2 was studied within a range of 104–106 PFU mL−1. The MIP-NPs demonstrated good binding affinity (KD = 0.12 pM) and selectivity toward SARS-CoV-2. The AFM, cyclic voltammetry, and square-wave voltammetry studies revealed the successful stepwise preparation of the sensor. A cross-reactivity test confirmed the specificity of the sensor. For the first time, this study demonstrates the potential of molecular imprinting technology in conjunction with miniaturized SPR devices for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 particles with high-affinity and specificity. Such sensors could help monitor and manage the risks related to virus contamination and infections also beyond the current pandemic.

description: Future astrophysics and cosmic microwave background space missions operating in the far-infrared to millimetre part of the spectrum will require very large arrays of ultra-sensitive detectors in combination with high multiplexing factors and efficient low-noise and low-power readout systems. We have developed a demonstrator system suitable for such applications. The system combines a 961 pixel imaging array based upon Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) with a readout system capable of reading out all pixels simultaneously with only one readout cable pair and a single cryogenic amplifier. We evaluate, in a representative environment, the system performance in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range, optical efficiency, cosmic ray rejection, pixel-pixel crosstalk and overall yield at at an observation centre frequency of 850 GHz and 20% fractional bandwidth. The overall system has an excellent sensitivity, with an average detector sensitivity NEPdet=3x10^-19 W/rt(Hz) measured using a thermal calibration source. At a loading power per pixel of 50fW we demonstrate white, photon noise limited detector noise down to 300 mHz. The dynamic range would allow the detection of 1 Jy bright sources within the field of view without tuning the readout of the detectors. The expected dead time due to cosmic ray interactions, when operated in an L2 or a similar far-Earth orbit, is found to be <4%. Additionally, the achieved pixel yield is 83% and the crosstalk between the pixels is
