description: We present the first wide area (19 deg$^2$), deep ($\approx120-150$ μJy beam$^{-1}$), high resolution ($5.6 \times 7.4$ arcsec) LOFAR High Band Antenna image of the Boötes field made at 130-169 MHz. This image is at least an order of magnitude deeper and 3-5 times higher in angular resolution than previously achieved for this field at low frequencies. The observations and data reduction, which includes full direction-dependent calibration, are described here. We present a radio source catalogue containing 6276 sources detected over an area of $19$\,deg$^2$, with a peak flux density threshold of $5σ$. As the first thorough test of the facet calibration strategy, introduced by van Weeren et al., we investigate the flux and positional accuracy of the catalogue. We present differential source counts that reach an order of magnitude deeper in flux density than previously achieved at these low frequencies, and show flattening at 150 MHz flux densities below 10 mJy associated with the rise of the low flux density star-forming galaxies and radio-quiet AGN.

description: 3D Printing technology is rapidly reshaping the construction industry as an innovative and sustainable building solution. Printing elements with structural and load bearing functions, using concrete material is among the considered solutions. The present study aims to demonstrate the ability of using 3D printed elements as fully structural. A comprehensive experimental program has been implemented to demonstrate this structural capability for 3D Printed element as the technology is presently outside construction codes. The program compares, in the same production and curing conditions, the mechanical behavior of cast in molds material, 3D printed material, and the associated l performance of structural elements at real scale. The material used was a one-component (1k) ink. Reliable correlations between material scales and large-scale elements can be established. However, a larger design safety margin than stated in the codes for conventionally cast concrete needs to be considered presently.

description: The file size and picture quality are factors to be considered for streaming, storage and transmitting videos over networks. This work compares Cinepak, Intel, Microsoft Video and Indeo Codec for video compression. The peak signal to noise ratio is used to compare the quality of such video compressed using AVI codecs. The most widely used objective measurement by developers of video processing systems is Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). Peak Signal to Noise Ration is measured on a logarithmic scale and depends on the mean squared error (MSE) between an original and an impaired image or video, relative to (2n-1)2. Previous research done regarding assessing of video quality has been mainly by the use of subjective methods, and there is still no standard method for objective assessments. Although it has been considered that compression might not be significant in future as storage and transmission capabilities improve, but at low bandwidths compression makes communication possible.

description: Alchemical free energy methods have found tremendous success over the last few decades, becoming
 key components of drug discovery pipelines. Despite many and ongoing innovations in this area, with
 several methodological improvements published each year, it remains challenging to consistently run
 free energy campaigns using state-of-the-art tools and best practices. In many cases, doing so requires
 expert knowledge, and/or the use of expensive closed source software. The Open Free Energy
 Consortium (https://openfree.energy/) was created with the aim of addressing these issues. A joint
 effort between academic and industry partners, the consortium aims to create and maintain
 reproducible and extensible open source toolkits for running large scale free energy campaigns. The
 initial flagship product of the Open Free Energy Consortium is the OpenFE toolkit
 (https://github.com/OpenFreeEnergy/openfe/), a permissively licensed open-source Python
 framework to setup, calculate, and analyse relative binding free energies.
 In this contribution we will summarise the progress and outputs of the project after its first year of
 operation. First we present the first benchmark results of the OpenFE toolkit. We compare the
 accuracy of ΔΔG estimates for approximately 200 ligand transformations calculated using the OpenFE
 toolkit with the OpenMM molecular dynamics engine, against previously published benchmark
 systems. We also assess the relative compute performance and accuracy of various equilibrium and
 non-equilibrium methods, including Hamiltonian replica exchange, self-adjusted mixture sampling,
 and non-equilibrium switching. Finally, we detail next steps for the toolkit, including the addition of
 support for other molecular dynamics engines, absolute binding free energies, and the ongoing
 curation of protein-ligand free energy benchmarks.

description: The construction industry is experiencing a significant transformation with the advent of 3D printing technology, offering a broad spectrum of versatile applications. Particularly, 3D printing of concrete has emerged as a promising approach, revolutionizing traditional construction methods by enabling the efficient creation of intricate structures. This study investigatres the structural behavior of a 3D printed concrete wall through cyclic in-plane testing, focusing on a 3D printed wall made with 40% of internal void and incorporating prefabricated base anchorage (named P-BA3DW).. The cyclic tests were conducted to simulate in-service conditions, incorporating distributed vertical load to simulate overhead structural weight and cyclic horizontal loads to simulate seismic forces acting in-plane. The outcomes of the cyclic test were recorded in terms of force-displacement behavior with a focus on the wall's response during both push and pull stages. An in-depth analysis of crack patterns further elucidated the propagation mechanisms and underscored predominant bending failure modes and limited post-peak behavior due to possible rapid damage propagation through the weak interlayers.

description: We demonstrate that a phase-insensitive parametric amplifier, coupled to a quantum correlated source, can be used as a quantum information tap for noiseless three-way signal splitting. We find that the output signals are amplified noiselessly in two of the three output ports while the other can more or less keep its original input size without adding noise. This scheme is able to cascade and scales up for efficient information distribution in an optical network. Furthermore, we find this scheme satisfies the criteria for a non-ideal quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement and thus can serve as a QND measurement device. With two readouts correlated to the input, we find this scheme also satisfies the criterion for sequential QND measurement.

Abstract Sodium thiosulfate (Pedmark®) is a chemoprotectant/antioxidant developed by Fennec Pharmaceuticals (formerly Adherex Technologies) to reduce to risk of hearing loss associated with cisplatin. Sodium thiosulfate reduces the risk of ototoxicity by interacting directly with cisplatin to produce inactive platinum species, as well as by causing intracellular effects (such as increasing antioxidant glutathione levels and inhibition of oxidative stress) after entering the cells through the sodium sulfate cotransporter 2. In September 2022, sodium thiosulfate received its first approval in the USA for reducing the risk of ototoxicity associated with cisplatin in pediatric patients 1 month of age and older with localized, non-metastatic solid tumours. Sodium thiosulfate is under regulatory review in the EU for the prevention of ototoxicity induced by cisplatin chemotherapy in patients 1 month to < 18 years of age with localised, non-metastatic, solid tumours. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of sodium thiosulfate leading to this pediatric first approval for reducing the risk of ototoxicity associated with cisplatin in pediatric patients. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022

description: Digital fabrication with concrete has been developing rapidly in the construction industry because of its advantages of rapid construction, no formwork, easy-to-shape work and labor cost savings. The design and programming of the printing paths for the printed elements is still not regulated with standard shapes as well as its specific design-to-fabrication procedure, and other constraints. Moreover, there is a lack in the literature on proper experimental characterization of 3D printed concrete elements subjected to shear loads. The present paper deals with an experimental study on the effect of printing path on the shear behavior of 3D printed concrete panels. In this regard, an experimental campaign based on diagonal compression tests was carried out on two square panels with different print paths adopted as infill. The infill paths differentiated in terms of periodic infill wave. The results showed that both shear stiffness and strength are affected by the type of inner geometry.

description: 3D printing concrete (3DCP) uses mortar with aggregates with less than 4 mm diameters. The fact that it uses mortar makes the construction industry wary, as mortar is not usually a structural material. In Brazil, this technology is at an early stage, with many institutions and companies seeking to develop their own printing systems and cement mixtures. There are many questions about the resistant capacity of these printing mortars to withstand loads related to masonry construction. This work analyzes the compressive strength of representative masonry volume elements (printed blocks - PB) using three different geometries, considering the usual sizes of structural blocks commonly used as a fundamental element for the design of load-bearing walls. Therefore, tests were carried out in the fresh state to assess how the geometry affects the buildability and stability of the layers. In the hardened state, tests were carried out on small pieces, and compression tests were performed on PB with different geometries. Based on the experimental study, numerical simulations were carried out using the finite element method. The influence of geometry-related factors on the behavior of the elements analyzed was highlighted. The experimental results showed that the block geometry with S-type interlocks provided greater compressive strength due to its larger net area. In contrast, the PB with a perpendicular septum, similar to the MB geometry, presented lower strength. Numerical modeling was effective and correlated well with experimental results, proving an important procedure for 3DCP analyses.

description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has caused one of the biggest pandemics of modern times, infected over 240 million people and killed over 4.9 million people, and continues to do so. Although many drugs are widely recommended in the treatment of this disease, the interactions of these drugs with an anti-atherosclerotic enzyme, paraoxonase-1 (PON1), are not well known. In our study, we investigated the interactions of 18 different drugs, which are claimed to be effective against covid-19, with the PON1 enzyme and its genetics variants L55M and Q192R with molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and free energy calculation method MM/PBSA. We found that ruxolitinib, dexamethasone, colchicine; dexamethasone, sitagliptin, baricitinib and galidesivir, ruxolitinib, hydroxychloroquine were the most effective compounds in binding PON1-w, PON1L55M and PON1Q192R respectively. Mainly, sitagliptin, galidesivir and hydroxychloroquine have attracted attention by showing very high affinity (<-300 kJ/mol) according to the MM/PBSA method. We concluded that the drug interactions should be considered and more attention should be paid in the use of these drugs. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Multi drug resistance (MDR) in tumor might be caused leading to the overexpression of transporters, such as ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1). A combination of non-toxic and potent ABC inhibitors along with conventional anti-cancer drugs is needed to reverse MDR in tumors. A variety of phytochemicals have been previously shown to reverse MDR. Annonaceous acetogenins (AAs) with C35/C37 long-chain fatty acids were reported for their anti-tumor activity, however, their effect on reversing MDR is not yet investigated. We aimed to investigate some selective AAs against the B1 subtype of ABC transporter using computational studies. Various modules of Maestro software were utilized for our in-silico analysis. Few well-characterized AAs were screened for their drug-likeness properties and tested for binding affinity at ATP and drug binding sites of ABCB1 through molecular docking. The stability of the ligand-protein complex (lowest docking score) was then determined by a molecular dynamic (MD) simulation study. Out of 24 AAs, Annonacin A (−8.10 kcal/mol) and Annohexocin (−10.49 kcal/mol) docked with a greater binding affinity at the ATP binding site than the first-generation inhibitor of ABCB1 (Verapamil: −3.86 kcal/mol). MD simulation of Annonacin A: ABCB1 complex for 100 ns also indicated that Annonacin A would stably bind to the ATP binding site. We report that Annonacin A binds at a greater affinity with ABCB1 and might act as a potential drug lead to reverse MDR in tumor cells. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: 3D printing concrete (3DPC) is an innovative method in the construction sector, eliminating the need for traditional formwork. This study introduces a mortar mixed design with recycled fine aggregates (RFA) where dmax < 2 mm. The mortar was printed with two different printers, each equipped with nozzles of different diameters (2 cm and 4 cm). The layers were printed and pressed to widen the string to the chosen width of 6 cm. The primary objective is to study the influence of nozzle diameters on the mechanical properties as well as the anisotropic behavior of 3DPC. The investigation was conducted through mechanical testing on different orientations of printed layers, parallel (oz) and perpendicular (ox) to the printing direction. Results reveal a significant drop of compressive strength in the orientation (oz) when using a 2 cm nozzle compared to a 4 cm nozzle from the same mix design. This is attributed to the intense compression of each layer during deposition to ensure controlled spreading of the material path consequently creating damage in the outer parts of the printed concrete.

description: Research and innovation in digital fabrication with concrete are ad-vancing rapidly and high quality, sustainable solutions are being developed. Re-cent pilot projects have confirmed the potential of 3D-Printing to improve produc-tivity, sustainability and working conditions in concrete construction. However, there are still technological and economical obstacles to overcome and essential developments to be pursued to enable widespread implementation. This paper dis-cusses the path towards the practical implementation of 3D printing in the con-crete sector. The study presented focuses on the technological development, eco-nomic and normative aspects of 3D printing with the aim of developing a roadmap for practical implementation. The obstacles to implementation are reviewed, and activities to overcome these barriers and support implementation are highlighted. Finaly, the standardisation aspects are discussed and prenormative steps, which are necessary for the practical implementation, are proposed. The specific contri-bution of this paper is the research on and determination of the Technology Read-iness Level (TRL) of different technologies for the in-situ and off-situ applica-tions. Furthermore, the authors studied and suggested the implementation options for different technologies.

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with more males than females diagnosed, and researchers have considered whether the existence of a female-specific ASD phenotype may contribute to differences in rates of diagnosis. We sought to inform this issue through a systematic review and meta-analysis of potential sex differences specifically in young autistic children across a range of domains including core ASD features, social functioning, cognition, and co-occurring internalising and/or externalising conditions. The systematic review identified 35 studies examining sex differences in young autistic children. Conflicting results were evident across studies, with some reporting small sex differences and others reporting no sex differences. Meta-analysis revealed no overarching significant sex differences in the domains investigated. However, the meta-analytic effect for the RRB domain approached significance, with females demonstrating fewer RRBs than males. Many of the primary studies included here utilised data from standardised diagnostic instruments to measure autism features, so while this study suggests non-significant sex differences in early childhood ASD, it remains possible that current tools are insufficiently sensitive to detect differences in ASD presentation by sex at this age. It is also possible that the diagnostic criteria may reflect a predominately ‘male phenotype’ and this may obscure the detection of genuine sex differences in young autistic children.

description: The evolved, massive highly eccentric binary system, eta Carinae, underwent a periastron passage in the summer of 2014. We obtained two coordinated X-ray observations with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR during the elevated X-ray flux state and just before the X-ray minimum flux state around this passage. These NuSTAR observations clearly detected X-ray emission associated with eta Car extending up to ~50 keV for the first time. The NuSTAR spectrum above 10 keV can be fit with the bremsstrahlung tail from a kT ~6 keV plasma. This temperature is Delta kT ~2 keV higher than those measured from the iron K emission line complex, if the shocked gas is in collisional ionization equilibrium. This result may suggest that the companion star's pre-shock wind velocity is underestimated. The NuSTAR observation near the X-ray minimum state showed a gradual decline in the X-ray emission by 40% at energies above 5 keV in a day, the largest rate of change of the X-ray flux yet observed in individual eta Car observations. The column density to the hardest emission component, NH ~1e24 cm-2, marked one of the highest values ever observed for eta Car, strongly suggesting increased obscuration of the wind-wind colliding X-ray emission by the thick primary stellar wind prior to superior conjunction. Neither observation detected the power-law component in the extremely hard band that INTEGRAL and Suzaku observed prior to 2011. If the non-detection by NuSTAR is caused by absorption, the power-law source must be small and located very near the WWC apex. Alternatively, it may be that the power-law source is not related to either eta Car or the GeV gamma-ray source.

description: The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in cellular metabolism, growth and survival. PI3Kα hyperactivation impairs downstream signaling, including mTOR regulation, and are linked to poor prognosis and refractory cancer treatment. To support multi-target drug discovery, we took advantage from existing PI3Kα and mTOR crystallographic structures to map similarities and differences in their ATP-binding pockets in the presence of selective or dual inhibitors. Molecular dynamics and MM/PBSA calculations were employed to study the binding profile and identify the relative contribution of binding site residues. Our analysis showed that while varying parameters of solute and solvent dielectric constant interfered in the absolute binding free energy, it had no effect in the relative per residue contribution. In all complexes, the most important interactions were observed within 3–3.5 Å from inhibitors, responding for ∼75–100% of the total calculated interaction energy. While closest residues are essential for the strength of the binding of all ligands, more distant residues seem to have a larger impact on the binding of the dual inhibitor, as observed for PI3Kα residues Phe934, Lys802 and Asp805 and, mTOR residues Leu2192, Phe2358, Leu2354, Lys2187 and Tyr2225. A detailed description of individual residue contribution in the presence of selective or dual inhibitors is provided as an effort to improve the understanding of molecular mechanisms controlling multi-target inhibition. This work provides key information to support further studies seeking the rational design of potent PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitors for cancer treatment. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We apply the large-$N_c$ expansion to the time-reversal-invariance-violating (TV) nucleon-nucleon potential. The operator structures contributing to next-to-next-to-leading order in the large-$N_c$ counting are constructed. For the TV and parity-violating case we find a single operator structure at leading order. The TV but parity-conserving potential contains two leading-order terms, which however are suppressed by 1/$N_c$ compared to the parity-violating potential. Comparison with phenomenological potentials, including the chiral EFT potential in the TV parity-violating case, leads to large-$N_c$ scaling relations for TV meson-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon couplings.

description: In S. aureus, ribosome biogenesis GTP-binding (YsxC), a GTPase interacts with 50S subunit and 30S subunit of ribosome, and β’ subunit of RNA polymerase and played an important role in protein synthesis. For the identification of potent lead molecules, we have conducted pharmacophore modeling by consideration of pharmacophore features of GTP among YsxC-GTP complex. Virtual screening and molecular docking results displayed that five pharmacokinetic and ADMET filtered molecules—ZINC000006424138, ZINC000095502032, ZINC000225415132, ZINC000095475800, and ZINC000012990761—had higher binding affinities than GTP with YsxC. All the identified molecules shared similar pharmacophore features of GTP and were stabilized via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with YsxC. Molecular dynamics analysis revealed that YsxC-inhibitor(s) complexes were lesser dynamics and higher stable than YsxC-GTP complex. Molecular Mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MMPBSA) results confirmed that identified molecules bound at the active site (Arg33, Ser34, Asn35, Val36, Lys38, Ser39, Thr40, Thr54, Ser55, Pro58, Lys60, Thr61, Thr144, Lys145, Ser178, and Ile179) of YsxC and formed the lower energy (–190.32 ± 3.46 to –217.03 ± 2.55 kJ/mol) complexes than YsxC-GTP (–157.16 ± 2.89 kJ/mol) complex. The identified molecules in this study can be further tested and utilized to design novel antimicrobial agents for S. aureus. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The demand for 3D Printed Concrete (3DPC) structures in challenging settings and the persistent challenge in the form of weak bonding between deposited concrete filaments, has heightened the interest in improving durability performance of 3DPC. Weak bonding between deposited filaments in 3D concrete printing has significant ramifications, including anisotropic mechanical behaviour, delamination, and diminished durability of printed structures. While previous efforts have sought to address this issue through chemical modifications and the incorporation of repair mortar, there remains a gap in existing literature regarding the physical alteration of the interlayer to enhance durability performance. This study addresses the limited research on early age exposure to environmental factors in 3DPC by investigating how three topological interlayer profiles (IPs), namely triangular, rectangular, and sinusoidal, influences the ingress of gases, liquids, and ions across the interlayer regions (IRs). The evaluation of each topological profile's durability performance is carried out through the application of a Durability Index (DI) which includes assessments of oxygen permeability (OPI), water sorptivity (WSI), and chloride conductivity (CCI). The results revealed that conventional 3DPC is vulnerable to chloride penetration during early exposure to highly chloride concentrated environments. This is concerning as it will result in early-stage pitting corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Using the triangular, rectangular, and sinusoidal interlayer profiles effectively enhanced the durability performance. Notably, the triangular interlayer profile reduced chloride conductivity by 74.2%, effectively changing the CCI durability class from very poor to good.

description: We identify carrier scattering at densities below which it has previously been observed in semiconductor quantum wells. These effects are evident in the peakshapes of 2D double-quantum spectra, which change as a function of excitation density. At high excitation densities ($\geq 10^{9}$ carriers/,cm$^{-2}$) we observe untilted peaks similar to those reported in previous experiments. At low excitation densities (

description: Despite the continuously increasing scale and number of concrete 3D printing applications, current research on the durability of printed cement-based materials remains limited. The insufficient understanding of durability will hinder the widespread adoption and application of 3D printed cement-based materials in practical construction scenarios. In this study, the carbonation performance of printed samples, with exposure of the bottom surface, was assessed. A concave carbonation front is observed when the bottom side is exposed due to the non-uniform carbonation. This phenomenon is linked to the density gradient distribution of printed materials and is more pronounced with increased deformation of samples. Silica fume decreases the carbonation resistance of printed samples and leads to even more non-uniform carbonation.

description: This thesis is composed of three chapters. The first chapter studies the role of unemployment risk on business formation. It develops and estimates a partial-equilibrium search model with risky transitions to entrepreneurship. The decomposition of rising unemployment risk for wage workers into the fall of the job finding rate and the rise of the job separation rate highlights the role of the former in driving falling entry to self-employment from paid workers. The quantitative analysis also shows that higher aggregate unemployment risk can explain most of the 16% decrease in the self-employment rate after the Great Recession and predicts a significant worsening of the entrepreneurial pool. Empirically, the chapter exploits annual variation in industry unemployment rates to show that salaried workers are deterred from entering self-employment in sectors experiencing higher unemployment increases. The second chapter investigates the impact of unemployment benefits extensions during the Great Recession on self-employment. At the micro-level, it shows that longer UI duration was, on average, not associated with lower entry to self-employment. However, these findings hide heterogeneity among the newly self-employed: Those who work less than 20 hours per week on their business were 30% less likely to enter following eligibility to extended benefits, consistent with entry by necessity when jobs are hard to find. While there was a large variation in the number of UI weeks available at the macro-level, this chapter finds that changes in benefits duration did not affect state-level self-employment rates. The third chapter studies the role of changes in households’ balance sheets on new firm creation through changes in local 1 home values. It documents that new start-up founders were disproportionately more likely to have been turned down credit during the Great Recession. To study the impact of house price changes on start-up creation, it proposes a new instrumental variable strategy for house prices that exploits cross-sectional variation in mortgage debt-to-income ratios as a proxy for households’ borrowing constraints. This chapter finds that a 1% annual increase in house prices increases the start-up rate by 0.02 percentage points.
