description: An analysis of high-resolution near-infrared spectra of a sample of 45 asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars towards the Galactic bulge is presented. The sample consists of two subsamples, a larger one in the inner and intermediate bulge, and a smaller one in the outer bulge. The data are analysed with the help of hydrostatic model atmospheres and spectral synthesis. We derive the radial velocity of all stars, and the atmospheric chemical mix ([Fe/H], C/O, $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C, Al, Si, Ti, and Y) where possible. Our ability to model the spectra is mainly limited by the (in)completeness of atomic and molecular line lists, at least for temperatures down to $T_{\rm eff}\approx3100$ K. We find that the subsample in the inner and intermediate bulge is quite homogeneous, with a slightly sub-solar mean metallicity and only few stars with super-solar metallicity, in agreement with previous studies of non-variable M-type giants in the bulge. All sample stars are oxygen-rich, C/O$

description: In this work we investigate the anisotropic conformal structure of the gravitational field incorporating dark gravity in a generalized Lagrange geometric framework on the Lorentz tangent bundle and we present two applications; the anisotropic conformal Minkowski spacetime and the anisotropic conformal FLRW cosmology. In the first application, the conformal factor induces an anisotropic conformal de-Sitter-like space with extra curvature which causes extra gravity and allows for Sasaki-type Finsler-like structures which could potentially describe certain gravitational phenomena in a more extended form. The cosmological properties of the model are also studied using a FLRW metric structure for the underlying base manifold in the second application, where we derive generalized Friedmann-like equations for the horizontal subspace of the Lorentz tangent bundle spacetime that reduce under certain conditions to those given by A. Triantafyllopoulos and P. C. Stavrinos (2018) [Class. Quantum Grav. 35 085011] as well as those of general relativity.

description: A microchip reactor coated with a gold nanoparticle network entrapping trypsin was designed for the efficient on-line proteolysis of low level proteins and complex extracts originating from mouse macrophages. The nanostructured surface coating was assembled via a layer-by-layer electrostatic binding of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and gold nanoparticles. The assembly process was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance. The controlled adsorption of trypsin was theoretically studied on the basis of the Langmuir isotherm model, and the fitted Gamma(max) and K values were estimated to be 1.2 x 10(-7) mol/m(2) and 4.1 x 10(5) M(-1), respectively. An enzymatic kinetics assay confirmed that trypsin, which was entrapped in the biocompatible gold nanoparticle network with a high loading capacity, preserved its bioactivity. The maximum proteolytic rate of the adsorbed trypsin was 400 mM/(min.microg). Trace amounts of proteins down to femtomole per analysis were digested using the microchip reactor, and the resulting tryptic products were identified by MALDI-TOF MS/MS. The protein mixtures extracted from the mouse macrophages were efficiently identified by on-line digestion and LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis.

description: We test the hypothesis that the polarization vectors of flat-spectrum radio sources (FSRS) in the JVAS/CLASS 8.4-GHz surveys are randomly oriented on the sky. The sample with robust polarization measurements is made of $4155$ objects and redshift information is known for $1531$ of them. We performed two statistical analyses: one in two dimensions and the other in three dimensions when distance is available. We find significant large-scale alignments of polarization vectors for samples containing only quasars (QSO) among the varieties of FSRS's. While these correlations prove difficult to explain either by a physical effect or by biases in the dataset, the fact that the QSO's which have significantly aligned polarization vectors are found in regions of the sky where optical polarization alignments were previously found is striking.

description: We revisit the issue of the large negative next-to-leading order (NLO) cross section for single inclusive hadron production in $pA$ collisions in the saturation formalism. By implementing the exact kinematical constraint in the modified dipole splitting functions, two additional positive NLO correction terms are obtained. In the asymptotic large $k_\perp$ limit, we analytically show that these two terms become as large as the negative NLO contributions found in our previous calculation. Furthermore, the numerical results demonstrate that the applicable regime of the saturation formalism can be extended to a larger $k_\perp$ window, where the exact matching between the saturation formalism (in the asymptotic $k_\perp$ regime) and the collinear factorization calculations will have to be performed separately. In addition, after significantly improving the numerical accuracy of the NLO correction, we obtain excellent agreement with the LHC and RHIC data for forward hadron productions.

description: A well known property of the gamma-ray sources detected by COS-B in the 1970s, by the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory in the 1990s and recently by the Fermi observations is the presence of radio counterparts, in particular for those associated to extragalactic objects. This observational evidence is the basis of the radio-gamma-ray connection established for the class of active galactic nuclei known as blazars. In particular, the main spectral property of the radio counterparts associated with gamma-ray blazars is that they show a flat spectrum in the GHz frequency range. Our recent analysis dedicated to search blazar-like candidates as potential counterparts for the unidentified gamma-ray sources (UGSs) allowed us to extend the radio-gamma-ray connection in the MHz regime. We also showed that below 1 GHz blazars maintain flat radio spectra. Thus on the basis of these new results, we assembled a low-frequency radio catalog of flat spectrum sources built by combining the radio observations of the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) and of the Westerbork in the southern hemisphere (WISH) catalog with those of the NRAO Very Large Array Sky survey (NVSS). This could be used in the future to search for new, unknown blazar-like counterparts of the gamma-ray sources. First we found NVSS counterparts of WSRT radio sources and then we selected flat spectrum radio sources according to a new spectral criterion specifically defined for radio observations performed below 1 GHz. We also described the main properties of the catalog listing 28358 radio sources and their logN-logS distributions. Finally a comparison with with the Green Bank 6-cm radio source catalog has been performed to investigate the spectral shape of the low-frequency flat spectrum radio sources at higher frequencies.

description: Recently protein kinases have emerged as some of the most promising drug targets; and therefore, pharmaceutical strategies have been developed to inhibit kinases in the treatment of a variety of diseases. CK2 is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that has been implicated in a number of cellular processes, including maintenance of cell viability, protection of cells from apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. Elevated CK2 activity has been established in a number of cancers where it was shown to promote tumorigenesis via the regulation of the activity of various oncogenes and tumor suppressor proteins. Consequently the development of CK2 inhibitors has been ongoing in preclinical studies, resulting in the generation of a number of CK2-directed compounds.

Crisis was launched by Fleetway Publications as a fortnightly on the 17th September 1988. The comic was devised and edited by Steve MacManus, and was cleverly hyped by PR Consultant Igor Goldkind as a political and socially aware publication. This entailed the use of a stable of 2000AD stalwarts that included Pat Mills, Carlos Ezquerra, John Smith and Jim Baikie in its original line up. Third World War was the most political story, and Pat Mills scripts were an inspired insight into 1980’s issues, projected into the very near future. New Statesmen was Smith and Baikie’s loose take on Watchmen, filtered through the US political system, with trademark Smith weirdness and poetic narration. The tone of these strips was fairly contrasting, with Third World War being much more grounded in the real world. As time went on the comic looked at other issues, such as the troubles in Northern Ireland. The editorial team also courted controversy with strips such as The New Adventures of Hitler and the hyped, but never published, Skin. Even issue 39’s Amnesty International issue was not without critics. This paper will look at the evolution of Crisis and ask if the experiment ever really worked.
Anisotropic Propagator for the Goldstone Modes in Color-flavor Locked Phase in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

description: We consider the phase diagram of QCD at very high baryon density and at zero temperature in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The state of matter at such high densities and low temperatures is believed to be a phase known as the color-flavor locked phase which breaks color and electromagnetic gauge invariance leaving a linear combination of them unbroken. Of the 9 quarks (three flavors and three colors), five are neutral under this unbroken generator and four are oppositely charged. In the presence of a magnetic field corresponding to the unbroken generator however, the properties of the condensate changes and a new phase known as the magnetic color flavor locked (MCFL)phase is realized. This phase breaks some of the color-flavor symmetry of the Lagrangian spontaneously, giving rise to 6 Goldstone modes, 5 of which are pseudo Goldstone modes. These Goldstone modes are composed of excitations that correspond to both neutral quarks and charged quarks. Hence it is natural to expect that the propagators of these Goldstone modes get affected in the presence of a magnetic field and their speed becomes considerably anisotropic. Although this anisotropy is self-evident from symmetry arguments, it has not been quantified yet. We calculate this anisotropy in the speed of the Goldstone modes using an NJL model type of interaction between the quarks and comment on the impact of such anisotropic modes on the transport properties of the MCFL phase.

description: A hypothesis is proposed herein, suggesting that a pion-nuclear resonance may be observed in the $α+d\to{}^6\mathrm{Li}(3.563)+π^0$ reaction. The resonance has a $πNNα$ structure, containing $αNN$ and $πNN$ subsystems. The former corresponds to the $A=6$ isotriplet ($^6\mathrm{He}_\text{g.s.}$, $^6\mathrm{Li}(3.563)$, $^6\mathrm{Be}_\text{g.s.}$), whereas the latter is a hypothetical $NN$-decoupled dibaryon. We propose an experiment to search for this resonance using the $^7\mathrm{Li}(p,d)$ reaction.

Anchorage-dependent Regulation of the Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Cascade by Growth Factors Is Supported by a Variety of Integrin α Chains

description: Integrin cooperation with growth factor receptors to enable permissive signaling to the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway has important implications for cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Here we have sought to determine whether anchorage regulation of the MAP kinase pathway is specific to the alpha chain subunit of the integrins employed during adhesion. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) anchored via endogenous alpha(2), alpha(3), or alpha(5) integrin subunits or NIH3T3 fibroblast cells lines anchored via ectopically expressed human integrin alpha(2) or alpha(5) subunits displayed comparable MAP kinase activation upon growth factor stimulation, regardless of the integrin alpha chain employed. In contrast, when either cell type was maintained in suspension, growth factor treatment inefficiently activated the MAP kinase pathway. The integrin-mediated enhancement of MAP kinase activation by growth factor correlated with the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase but was independent of Shc. These data indicate that integrin modulation of the MAP kinase pathway is supported by a variety of integrin complexes and imply that other pathways may be required for the previously reported alpha chain-specific effects on cell cycle regulation and cell differentiation.

Between 1936 and 1939 Spain went through a cruel and bloody civil war that ended with the triumph of Francisco Franco, a fascist dictator who ruled the country until his death in 1975. In a collective effort to move forwards and settle a fresh democratic regime and a newborn Constitution, the Parliament embraced a policy of amnesty and forgiveness, although never forgetting the preceding period. In recent years, however, there has been a surge in comic books (mostly in graphic novel form) that are revisiting the civil war and the repression, imprisonment and exile of the Republican side that followed. This paper will investigate these works, which can be autobiographical, and explore how they gather and use first hand information, mostly from oral sources, but can also present extensive research supporting the narrative. We’ll also discuss the reach of these titles and their appeal to an audience hungry to know more of Spain’s recent past and their potential as academic tools to teach a period of the country’s recent history that is often watered down in modern textbooks.

description: Numerous case-control studies on the association between polymorphisms of key genes involved in methionine remethylation [methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase (MS)] and the susceptibility of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer have provided inconclusive results. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to determine the effects of two MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) and one MS gene polymorphism (A2756G) on the risk of CIN II/III or cervical cancer. Relevant data were retrieved following a systematic search in PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE and Wanfang Data up to November 2012. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated from eligible studies by meta-analysis with subgroup analyses stratified by ethnicity. A total of 13 studies with 1,936 cases and 2,858 controls were included in the present meta‑analysis. An increased risk of cervical cancer was found in Asian women with the MTHFR 677T allele (TT vs. CC: OR=1.41, 95% CI=1.07‑1.86, P=0.01; TT vs. CC+CT: OR=1.38, 95% CI=1.08-1.75, P=0.008), while a decreased risk was observed in Caucasian women (TT vs. CC: OR=0.65, 95% CI=0.45-0.93, P=0.02; TT+CT vs. CC: OR=0.7, 95% CI=0.58-0.86, P=0.0005). No effects of MTHFR C677T polymorphism on CIN II/III risk and MTHFR A1298C or MS A2756G polymorphisms on cervical cancer risk were detected. The sensitivity analysis suggested stability of this meta-analysis and no publication bias was detected. The MTHFR 677T allele may enhance the risk of cervical cancer in the Asian female population and play a protective role in Caucasian females. However, limited association is suggested between MTHFR A1298C and MS A2756G polymorphisms with cervical tumorigenesis.

description: Bioactivity-guided fractionation of Corydalis yanhusuo has resulted in the isolation of eight known isoquinoline alkaloids - tetrahydropalmatine, isocorypalmine, stylopine, corydaline, columbamine, coptisin, 13-methylpalmatine, and dehydrocorybulbine. The tertiary alkaloids were further analyzed by chiral HPLC to determine the ratios of d-and l-isomers. The isolated compounds were screened for their binding affinities at the dopamine D(1) receptor. Isocorypalmine had the highest affinity (K(i) = 83 nM). The structure-affinity relationships of these alkaloids are discussed.

As Pustz suggest, comic books can be read as a cultural memory and to a certain degree a reflection of the contemporary times in which they are created. Considering Pustz’s claim, Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli’s 71-issue comic book series titled DMZ functions as a reflection of the post 9-11 American metropolitan, specifically the considerably reinforced internal militaristic control, media oppression, and the traumatized citizens.As Kraska and Kappeler put forward, since the 1980s, there has been a dramatic uptrend in the number of paramilitary police units or so-called the PPUs. Not only did the technological progress translate into the upgrade and diversification of the equipment that the police utilized, the occasions that the PPUs were called out significantly increased. Sturt Schrader also pointed this empowerment of policing in his work on the adaptation of counterinsurgency model that the United States provided the third world countries as a consultation back in the United States as a policing strategy. After 9-11, means of control and surveillance have continued to expand and gain power, manifesting itself as a cultural memory in Wood and Burchielli’s comic book series DMZ.
Design and Applications of Biodegradable Polyester Tissue Scaffolds Based on Endogenous Monomers Found in Human Metabolism

description: Synthetic polyesters have deeply impacted various biomedical and engineering fields, such as tissue scaffolding and therapeutic delivery. Currently, many applications involving polyesters are being explored with polymers derived from monomers that are endogenous to the human metabolism. Examples of these monomers include glycerol, xylitol, sorbitol, and lactic, sebacic, citric, succinic, alpha-ketoglutaric, and fumaric acids. In terms of mechanical versatility, crystallinity, hydrophobicity, and biocompatibility, polyesters synthesized partially or completely from these monomers can display a wide range of properties. The flexibility in these macromolecular properties allows for materials to be tailored according to the needs of a particular application. Along with the presence of natural monomers that allows for a high probability of biocompatibility, there is also an added benefit that this class of polyesters is more environmentally friendly than many other materials used in biomedical engineering. While the selection of monomers may be limited by nature, these polymers have produced or have the potential to produce an enormous number of successes in vitro and in vivo.

description: The direct and inverse scattering problems are analyzed for a first-order discrete system associated with the semi-discrete version of the derivative NLS system. The Jost solutions, the scattering coefficients, the bound-state dependency and norming constants are investigated and related to the corresponding quantities for two particular discrete linear systems associated with the semi-discrete version of the NLS system. The bound-state data set with any multiplicities is described in an elegant manner in terms of a pair of constant matrix triplets. Several methods are presented to the solve the inverse problem. One of these methods involves a discrete Marchenko system using as input the scattering data set consisting of the scattering coefficients and the bound-state information, and this method is presented in a way generalizable to other first-order systems both in the discrete and continuous cases for which a Marchenko system is not yet available. Finally, using the time-evolved scattering data set, the inverse scattering transform is applied on the corresponding semi-discrete derivative NLS system, and in the reflectionless case certain explicit solution formulas are presented in closed form expressed in terms of the two matrix triplets.

description: Phenolics are broadly distributed in the plant kingdom and are the most abundant secondary metabolites of plants. Plant polyphenols have drawn increasing attention due to their potent antioxidant properties and their marked effects in the prevention of various oxidative stress associated diseases such as cancer. In the last few years, the identification and development of phenolic compounds or extracts from different plants has become a major area of health- and medical-related research. This review provides an updated and comprehensive overview on phenolic extraction, purification, analysis and quantification as well as their antioxidant properties. Furthermore, the anticancer effects of phenolics in-vitro and in-vivo animal models are viewed, including recent human intervention studies. Finally, possible mechanisms of action involving antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity as well as interference with cellular functions are discussed.

All structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques and MS analysis. Selected isolated compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines and antioxidant scavenging effects on DPPH. (-)-(7'S,8'S)-threo-carolignan X (3) exhibited cytotoxicity against Hep2, WiDr, Daoy, and MCF-7 cell lines with ED(50) values of 3.60, 4.45, 6.07, and 13.7 μg/mL, respectively. Turformosin A (1), (-)-(7'S,8'S)- threo-carolignan X (3), methoxyhydroquinone-4-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), and methoxy-hydroquinone-1-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), exhibited similar anti-oxidative activity. Hep2 cells treated with 10 μg/mL of 3 showed elevation of sub-G1 population (from 20% at 8 h to 60% at 48 h), and activation of caspase-9/caspase-3/PARP cascade. Compound 3 induced intrinsic apoptotic pathway in Hep2 cells with dose and time dependence (10 μg/mL for 8 h).

description: Deliverable report D7.3 of the EU Horizon 2020 Project OPTAIN (Grant agreement No. 862756). Meeting minutes with main outcomes from two WP7 workshops.  Summary: A training event for OPTAIN project partners on knowledge transfer and dissemination was planned to be organized in connection with the 1st plenary meeting in order to: present and discuss the Communication and Dissemination Strategy and its implementation, using collected metrics and proposed ideas from WP7; focus on project key messages, target groups and how the whole partnership can support outreach, engagement and sharing information among the key stakeholders/target groups; ensure a well-functioning flow of information between the WP7 and project partners After a consensus between OPTAIN partners, it was decided that instead of one training session, there will be two Communication and Dissemination Workshops. This deliverable summarizes the report from both and provides the reader with essential information about the direction that the communication of the project is currently taking. During the 1st workshop, the partners from WP7 introduced the initial version of the Communication and Dissemination Strategy to the OPTAIN project partners. To enable an effective promotion of the OPTAIN project WP7 presented important plans and steps that will ensure an effective communication flow between all project partners and WP7. The Learning Environment was the second key topic of the workshop, mainly the introduction to the idea and launch of the roadmap to develop its strategy. The remainder of the workshop was dedicated to interactive activities to generate additional ideas revolving around the previous topics. At the 2nd workshop, the partners were updated with ongoing communication and dissemination activities as well as tracked results of the activities so far. Two other parts of the workshop were focusing on partners’ contributions towards future communication and dissemination efforts, and updates on the progress of the development of the Learning Environment application.

description: Angiogenesis plays a key role in cancer progression and correlates with disease aggressiveness and poor clinical outcomes. Affinity ligands discovered by screening phage display random peptide libraries can be engineered to molecularly target tumor blood vessels for noninvasive imaging and early detection of tumor aggressiveness. In this study, we tested the ability of a phage-display-selected peptide sequence recognizing specifically bone marrow- derived pro-angiogenic tumor-homing cells, the QFP-peptide, radiolabeled with 64Cu radioisotope to selectively image tumor vasculature in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET). To prepare the targeted PET tracer we modified QFP-phage with the DOTA chelator and radiolabeled the purified QFP-phage-DOTA intermediate with 64Cu to obtain QFP-targeted radioconjugate with high radiopharmaceutical yield and specific activity. We evaluated the new PET tracer in vivo in a subcutaneous (s.c.) Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) mouse model and conducted tissue distribution, small animal PET/CT imaging study, autoradiography, histology, fluorescence imaging, and dosimetry assessments. The results from this study show that, in the context of the s.c. LLC immunocompetent mouse model, the QFP-tracer can target tumor blood vessels selectively. However, further optimization of the biodistribution and dosimetry profile of the tracer is necessary to ensure efficient radiopharmaceutical applications enabled by the biological specificity of the QFP-peptide.

description: Phosphorylation of 2-(3-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxy-1 H-quinolin-4-one ( 1) afforded diphosphate 2. We found that, upon treatment with methanol under mild conditions, 2 can undergo facile and highly regioselective dephosphorylation to give the monophosphate 3, with a phosphate group remaining on the phenyl ring. The details of the dephosphorylation process were postulated and then probed by LC-MS and HPLC analyses. Furthermore, as a preliminary study, the water soluble monophosphate prodrug 4 was tested for antitumor activity against a MCF-7 xenograft nude mice model.
The angle-averaged squeezed limit of nonlinear matter N-point functions

description: We show that in a certain, angle-averaged squeezed limit, the $N$-point function of matter is related to the response of the matter power spectrum to a long-wavelength density perturbation, $P^{-1}d^nP(k|δ_L)/dδ_L^n|_{δ_L=0}$, with $n=N-2$. By performing N-body simulations with a homogeneous overdensity superimposed on a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Lemaître-Walker (FRLW) universe using the \emph{separate universe} approach, we obtain measurements of the nonlinear matter power spectrum response up to $n=3$, which is equivalent to measuring the fully nonlinear matter $3-$ to $5-$point function in this squeezed limit. The sub-percent to few percent accuracy of those measurements is unprecedented. We then test the hypothesis that nonlinear $N$-point functions at a given time are a function of the linear power spectrum at that time, which is predicted by standard perturbation theory (SPT) and its variants that are based on the ideal pressureless fluid equations. Specifically, we compare the responses computed from the separate universe simulations and simulations with a rescaled initial (linear) power spectrum amplitude. We find discrepancies of 10\% at $k\simeq 0.2 - 0.5 \,h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ for $5-$ to $3-$point functions at $z=0$. The discrepancy occurs at higher wavenumbers at $z=2$. Thus, SPT and its variants, carried out to arbitrarily high order, are guaranteed to fail to describe matter $N$-point functions ($N>2$) around that scale.

description: Phytochemical investigation of an ethanolic extract of stems of Schisandra neglecta led to the isolation and identification of two new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, designated neglschisandrins E ( 1) and F ( 2), and thirteen known lignans. All structures and stereochemistries were determined by spectroscopic methods, including 2D-NMR techniques. The isolates were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity. Among them, compounds 2– 6 exhibited moderate to weak cytotoxicity against the human colorectal carcinoma HCT-8 cell line with EC 50 values of 7.33~19.8 μg/mL. In addition, compounds 2– 4 also exhibited marginal cytotoxicity against the human lung carcinoma A549 cell line with EC 50 values of 11.8~15.0 μg/mL.
Hexagonal structures in 2D Navier-Stokes flows

description: Geometric structures naturally appear in fluid motions. One of the best known examples is Saturn's Hexagon, the huge cloud pattern at the level of Saturn's north pole, remarkable both for the regularity of its shape and its stability during the past decades. In this paper we will address the spontaneous formation of hexagonal structures in planar viscous flows, in the classical setting of Leray's solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Our analysis also makes evidence of the isotropic character of the energy density of the fluid for sufficently localized 2D flows in the far field: it implies, in particular, that fluid particles of such flows are nowhere at rest at large distances.

Stronger Reverse Uncertainty Relation for Multiple Incompatible Observables

description: Recently,D.Mondal et.al[Phys. Rev. A. 95, 052117(2017)]creatively introduce a new interesting concept of reverse uncertainty relation which indicates that one cannot only prepare quantum states with joint small uncertainty, but also with joint great uncertainty for incompatible observables. However, the uncertainty upper bound they constructed cannot express the essence of this concept well, i.e., the upper bound will go to infinity in some cases even for incompatible observables. Here, we construct a new reverse uncertainty relation and successfully fix this "infinity" problem. Also, it is found that the reverse uncertainty relation and the normal uncertainty relation are the same in essential, and they both can be unified by the same theoretical framework. Moreover, taking advantage of this unified framework, one can construct a reverse uncertainty relation for multiple observables with any tightness required. Meanwhile, the application of the new uncertainty relation in purity detection is discussed.
