description: (Z)-1,2-Bis[4-oxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-6-(tri­fluoro­meth­yl)-4H-benzo[e][1,3]thiazin-8-yl]diazene oxide, C28H24F6N6O3S2, was obtained and its structure determined while attempting to crystallize and structurally characterize 8-nitro-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-6-(trifluoro­meth­yl)-4H-benzo[e][1,3]thia­zin-4-one, a simplified analogue of the antituberculosis clinical drug candidate BTZ043. X-ray crystallography revealed the structure of the az­oxy compound to be comprised of two benzo­thia­zinone moieties linked by a Z-configured az­oxy group in an almost coplanar arrangement. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are densely packed, revealing a herringbone pattern.

description: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model lays the foundation of many important concepts in quantum topological matters. Since it tells one that topological states may be distinguished by abelian geometric phases, a question naturally arises as to what happens if one assembles two topologically distinct states. Here, we show that a spin-dependent double-well optical lattice allows one to couple two topologically distinct SSH chains in the bulk and realise a glided-two-leg SSH model that respects the glide reflection symmetry. Such model gives rise to intriguing quantum phenomena beyond the paradigm of a traditional SSH model. It is characterised by Wilson line that requires non-abelian Berry connections, and the interplay between the glide symmetry and interaction automatically leads to charge fractionalisation without jointing two lattice potentials at an interface. Our work demonstrates the power of ultracold atoms to create new theoretical models for studying topological matters.

description: Physics-based models typically require an in-depth understanding of a phenomenon and assumptions of the underlying process(es), which are often hard to obtain in practice, whereas data-driven machine learning models learn the structure and patterns in the training data without any prior theoretical assumptions and then use inference to develop useful predictions. A novel machine learning-based algorithm has been previously developed for the prediction of black carbon mass absorption cross-section (MACBC) and applied to a variety of different atmospheric environments. In contrast to light scattering theories which require assumptions about the underlying physics, this algorithm uses time-series data of aerosol properties to estimate the temporally varying MACBC at 870 nm. Here, we analyze our algorithm and discuss the influence of aerosol optical properties (such as Ångström exponents and single scattering albedo) and chemical composition on the model outputs and the associated accuracy. Additionally, we conduct sensitivity analyses on our models to understand how the predictions change in response to different sets of input variables. Our support vector machine (SVM) for regression model is the least sensitive to variations in the input variables, although all models tend to exhibit a degradation to their accuracy when scattering Ångström exponents are less than one.

description: The stratum corneum (SC) is the largest physical barrier of the human body. It protects against physical, chemical and biological damages, and avoids evaporation of water from the deepest skin layers. For its correct functioning, the homeostasis of the SC lipid matrix is fundamental. An alteration of the lipid matrix composition and in particular of its ceramide (CER) fraction can lead to the development of pathologies such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Different studies showed that the direct replenishment of SC lipids on damaged skin had positive effects on the recovery of its barrier properties. In this work, cerosomes, i.e. liposomes composed of SC lipids, have been successfully prepared in order to investigate the mechanism of interaction with a model SC lipid matrix. The cerosomes contain CER[NP], D-CER[AP], stearic acid and cholesterol. In addition, hydrogenated soybean phospholipids have been added to one of the formulations leading to an increased stability at neutral pH. For the mode of action studies, monolayer models at the air-water interface and on solid support have been deployed. The results indicated that a strong interaction occurred between SC monolayers and the cerosomes. Since both systems were negatively charged, the driving force for the interaction must be based on the ability of CERs head groups to establish intermolecular hydrogen bonding networks that energetically prevailed against the electrostatic repulsion. This work proved for the first time the mode of action by which cerosomes exploit their function as skin barrier repairing agents on the SC.

description: Airborne murine coronavirus was assessed for its sensitivity to the vapors of chemicals commonly used to disinfect indoor surfaces. As a model for the chemical sensitivity of airborne SARS-CoV-2, the infectious potential of airborne Mouse Hepatitis Virus (MHV) was tracked in the presence of the following pure chemical vapors, each of which was below its permissible exposure limit (PEL) as regulated by the US National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH): < 50 ppmv for glycol; < 1ppmv for HOCl; and, < 1ppmv for H2O2. Along with its growth media, infectious MHV was aerosolized in a particle size distribution between 0.5 μm and 3.2 μm into a sealed, dark, 9 m3 chamber maintained at 220C and 60% RH, including levels of chemical vapors maintained below their respective PELs. As judged by the TCID50 of airborne MHV collected by condensation, this airborne virus was rapidly inactivated by HOCl vapor, incurring an average of 99% infectious potential loss after 16 ± 4 minutes exposure to ≤0.2 ppmv HOCl. Airborne MHV responded with a 99% loss of infectious potential in 38 ± 10 minutes of exposure to ≤0.9 ppmv H2O2; and, a 99% loss of infectious potential in 33 ± 15 minutes when exposed to a gas-phase dipropylene glycol blend ≤20 ppmv as TVOC. The juxtaposition of quantitative RT-PCR and TCID50 responses suggest that even low levels of gas-phase HOCl exposures can damage the genome of airborne coronavirus in relatively short time frames (c.a. < 5 mins).
Do non-pathogenic variants of DNA mismatch repair genes modify neurofibroma load in neurofibromatosis type 1?

description: Non-pathogenic mismatch repair (MMR) gene variants can be associated with decreased MMR capacity in several settings. Due to an increased mutation rate, reduced MMR capacity leads to accumulation of somatic sequence changes in tumour suppressor genes such as in the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene. Patients with autosomal dominant NF1 typically develop neurofibromas ranging from single to thousands. Concerning the number of neurofibromas NF1 patients face a situation that is still not predictable. A few studies suggested that germline non-pathogenic MMR gene variants modify the number of neurofibromas in NF1 and by this mechanism may promote the extent of neurofibroma manifestation. This review represents first evidence that specific non-pathogenic single nucleotide variants of MMR genes act as a modifier of neurofibroma manifestation in NF1, highlighting MSH2 re4987188 as the best analysed non-pathogenic variant so far. In summary, besides MSH2 promotor methylation, specific non-pathogenic germline MSH2 variants are associated with the extent of neurofibroma manifestation. Those variants can serve as a biomarker to facilitate better mentoring of NF1 patients at risk.

description: Recent IRIS observations have revealed a prevalence of intermittent small-scale jets with apparent speeds of 80 - 250 km s$^{-1}$, emanating from small-scale bright regions inside network boundaries of coronal holes. We find that these network jets appear not only in coronal holes but also in quiet-sun regions. Using IRIS 1330A (C II) slit-jaw images, we extract several parameters of these network jets, e.g. apparent speed, length, lifetime and increase in foot-point brightness. Using several observations, we find that some properties of the jets are very similar but others are obviously different between the quiet sun and coronal holes. For example, our study shows that the coronal-hole jets appear to be faster and longer than those in the quiet sun. This can be directly attributed to a difference in the magnetic configuration of the two regions with open magnetic field lines rooted in coronal holes and magnetic loops often present in quiet sun. We have also detected compact bright loops, likely transition region loops, mostly in quiet sun. These small loop-like regions are generally devoid of network jets. In spite of different magnetic structures in the coronal hole and quiet sun in the transition region, there appears to be no substantial difference for the increase in foot-point brightness of the jets, which suggests that the generation mechanism of these network jets is likely the same in both regions.

description: Obesity is a major and increasing public health concern, associated with an increased risk of and mortality from several types of cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC), being associated with cancer progression, metastasis and resistance to therapy. It was hypothesized that the expression of cancer/metastasis‑inducing gene metastasis‑associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) is increased in obesity, which may constitute a link to obesity‑induced cancer. The present study thus analyzed circulating cell‑free plasma MACC1 expression levels in human obese (vs. normal weight) adult individuals from independent studies, namely the Martin Luther University (MLU) study (n=32) and the Metabolic syndrome study (MetScan, Berlin) (n=191). Higher plasma MACC1 levels were found in obese individuals, increasing with a greater body fat mass and body mass index; these levels were predominantly observed in male and to a lesser extent in female individuals, although the results were not significant. A reduction in body fat mass following dietary intervention and physical exercise decreased the MACC1 expression levels in the MLU study. Furthermore, Wistar rats with diet‑induced obesity exhibited slightly increased plasma MACC1 levels compared with rats of normal weight. The obese Wistar rats exposed to azoxymethane to induce colon cancer exhibited a more severe colon tumor outcome, which was associated with significantly increased MACC1 levels compared with their non‑obese littermates. On the whole, the findings of the present study suggest an association between MACC1 and obesity, as well as with obesity‑induced CRC.

description: To explain the nature of the high reddening (Av~10 mag) towards one of the most luminous stars in the Galaxy - Cyg OB2 #12 (B5 Ia-0), also known as MT304, we carried out spectro-photometric observations of 24 stars located in its vicinity. We included five new B-stars among the members of Cygnus OB2, and for five more photometrically selected stars we spectroscopically confirmed their membership. We constructed the map of interstellar extinction within 2.5 arcmin radius and found that interstellar extinction increases towards MT304. According to our results the most reddened OB-stars in the association after MT304 are J203240.35+411420.1 and J203239.90+411436.2, located about 15 arcsec away from it. Interstellar extinction towards these stars is about 9 mag. The increase of reddening towards MT304 suggests that the reddening excess may be caused by the circumstellar shell ejected by the star during its evolution. This shell absorbs 1 mag, but its chemical composition and temperature are unclear. We also report the detection of a second component of MT304, and discovery of an even fainter third component, based on data of speckle interferometric observations taken with the Russian 6-m telescope.

description: We have been developing monolithic active pixel sensors series, named "XRPIX," based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) pixel technology, for future X-ray astronomical satellites. The XRPIX series offers high coincidence time resolution ({\rm \sim}1 {\rm μ}s), superior readout time ({\rm \sim}10 {\rm μ}s), and a wide energy range (0.5--40 keV). In the previous study, we successfully demonstrated X-ray detection by event-driven readout of XRPIX2b. We here report recent improvements in spectroscopic performance. We successfully increased the gain and reduced the readout noise in XRPIX2b by decreasing the parasitic capacitance of the sense-node originated in the buried p-well (BPW). On the other hand, we found significant tail structures in the spectral response due to the loss of the charge collection efficiency when a small BPW is employed. Thus, we increased the gain in XRPIX3b by introducing in-pixel charge sensitive amplifiers instead of having even smaller BPW. We finally achieved the readout noise of 35 e{\rm ^{-}} (rms) and the energy resolution of 320 eV (FWHM) at 6 keV without significant loss of the charge collection efficiency.

description: The mass-absorption cross-section of black carbon (MACBC) is an essential parameter to link the atmospheric concentration of black carbon (BC) with its radiative forcing. When a direct calculation of MACBC based on observations of aerosol light absorption and BC mass concentration is impossible, we rely on modeling and simulations to estimate MACBC, but currently, there is no consensus model that can be relied on for accurate predictions across all atmospheric environments when BC particles have different coating thicknesses. Here, we applied five MACBC prediction models (including three light scattering theories, an empirical model based on observations of particle mass concentrations, and a machine learning model developed in our previous work) to aerosols from three Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) field campaigns. While many studies have found that increasing the complexity of the models helps to constrain biases of the estimated MACBC, our effort is to evaluate the models based on the criteria of simplicity and accuracy. We find that our machine learning model (support vector machine for regression, SVM) generally performs well across all DOE ARM field campaign data, while the accuracy of core-shell Mie theory depends on the bias correction algorithm applied to filter-based light absorption data. Generally, the empirical model for internally-mixed particles that we considered tends to over-predict MACBC, while Mie theory for externally-mixed particles tends to under-predict MACBC. An examination of the influence of coating material on BC cores suggests that the performance of our current SVM model is degraded when the BC is thickly-coated (e.g., it has undergone aging and mixing with other materials in the atmosphere).

description: Numerical study has been conducted for the chaotic flow in a multi-turn closed-loop pulsating heat pipe (PHP). Heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions have been applied for heating and cooling sections respectively. Water was used as working fluid. Volume of Fluid (VOF) method has been employed for two-phase flow simulation. Volume fraction results showed formation of perfect vapor and liquid plugs in the fluid flow of PHP. Non-linear time series analysis, power spectrum density, correlation dimension and autocorrelation function were used to investigate the chaos. Absence of dominating peaks in the power spectrum density was a signature of chaos in the pulsating heat pipe. It was found that by increasing the filling ratio and evaporator heating power the correlation dimension increases. Decreasing of the autocorrelation function with respect to time showed the prediction ability is finite as a result of chaotic state. An optimal filling ratio of 60% and minimum thermal resistance of 1.62 K/W were found for better thermal performance of the pulsating heat pipe.

description: This qualitative research examines the lived experiences of three parents who took part in a Multi-Family Group Intervention (MFGI) in School, alongside their children, in primary schools in England. The research explored any changes in parental views over the course of the intervention, with a focus on their views of family, their own wellbeing, the school and school community. The research sits within the critical realist ontological approach, which acknowledges that there is a basis of a truth that sits behind the subjective and socially located knowledge that researcher’s access. The research is based on the social constructionist and contextual epistemological view that the world is constructed through discourses and different systems of meaning. In this study, knowledge is created subjectively resulting in multiple perspectives and emerges from the different contexts the participants inhabit and their individual experiences. A systematic literature review sought to explore and present key research relevant to this study. It concluded that there is very little research in the current literature exploring Multi-Family Groups within a school context for the parents of children with special educational needs. This research adds to and expands on the current understanding of the use of Multi-Family Groups in Schools which address presenting problems in the dual context of family and home. The participants were interviewed using semi-structured interviews and a visual tool called the ‘Tree of Change’ to record views and facilitate conversations over time. Participants were interviewed at three points throughout the intervention (pre, mid-point and post) and transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Four general experiential themes emerged from the analysis: Changes in Support and Coping, Changes through Observation, Changes in Identity and Self-Concept and finally Changes in Relationships with Child and School. Each theme is discussed and exemplified by quotes from the participants. Findings are discussed in relation to relevant psychological theory and research. The study is considered as relevant for Educational Psychologists, and to those working in wider educational contexts. Suggestions for future research are made in order that the findings can be extended further.
Different evolutionary paths to complexity for small and large populations of digital organisms

description: A major aim of evolutionary biology is to explain the respective roles of adaptive versus non-adaptive changes in the evolution of complexity. While selection is certainly responsible for the spread and maintenance of complex phenotypes, this does not automatically imply that strong selection enhances the chance for the emergence of novel traits, that is, the origination of complexity. Population size is one parameter that alters the relative importance of adaptive and non-adaptive processes: as population size decreases, selection weakens and genetic drift grows in importance. Because of this relationship, many theories invoke a role for population size in the evolution of complexity. Such theories are difficult to test empirically because of the time required for the evolution of complexity in biological populations. Here, we used digital experimental evolution to test whether large or small asexual populations tend to evolve greater complexity. We find that both small and large---but not intermediate-sized---populations are favored to evolve larger genomes, which provides the opportunity for subsequent increases in phenotypic complexity. However, small and large populations followed different evolutionary paths towards these novel traits. Small populations evolved larger genomes by fixing slightly deleterious insertions, while large populations fixed rare beneficial insertions that increased genome size. These results demonstrate that genetic drift can lead to the evolution of complexity in small populations and that purifying selection is not powerful enough to prevent the evolution of complexity in large populations.

description: Pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDI) are one of the most common devices to deliver therapeutic treatment to patients with asthma or COPD. The atomisation mechanism responsible for droplet production is poorly understood because of the short length and timescales involved, making experimental investigations to characterise fluid flow structures and spray formation processes difficult. This article reports the findings of new high-speed and high-resolution imaging and temperature measurements seeking to improve the fundamental understanding of the atomisation mechanism of the pMDI. An annular flow regime of gaseous core in liquid annulus was observed in the orifice. Shock diamonds within the flow, viewed via Schlieren imaging, confirmed experimentally for the first time the choked nature of the orifice exit flow. Propellant formulation flow in the orifice was found to be superheated to a degree that significant flashing and evaporation at the orifice exit is likely to take place. This information points to a hybrid mechanism of predominantly aerodynamic atomisation with significant liquid flashing upon exit from the orifice producing a near instantaneous formation of respirable droplets. Large irrespirable droplets are produced by two mechanisms; breakup of liquid slugs ejected from the orifice, due to unsteady transient fluid structures in the actuator sump and stripping of ligaments from a liquid pool around the orifice exit, which subsequently break up into large droplets in the periphery of the plume. This new understanding will aid development of next generation, high efficiency pMDIs, particularly those employing low global warming potential propellants such as HFA152a or HFO1234ze(E).

We focus on the regime of dominant size quantization in combination with the attractive electron-hole interaction. An adiabatic separation of slow and fast motions leads via the two-body Dirac equation to the isolated and coupled subband approximations. Discrete and continuous exciton states are in general coupled and form quasi Rydberg series of purely discrete and resonance type character. Corresponding oscillator strengths and widths are derived. We show that the exciton peaks are blue-shifted, become broader and increase in magnitude upon narrowing the ribbon. At the edge of a subband the singularity related to the 1D density of states is transformed into finite absorption via the presence of the exciton. Our analytical results are in good agreement with those obtained by other methods including numerical approaches. Estimates of the expected experimental values are provided for realistic AGNRs.

description: We exploit the redundancy of the language-based source to help polar decoding. By judging the validity of decoded words in the decoded sequence with the help of a dictionary, the polar list decoder constantly detects erroneous paths after every few bits are decoded. This path-pruning technique based on joint decoding has advantages over stand-alone polar list decoding in that most decoding errors in early stages are corrected. In order to facilitate the joint decoding, we first propose a construction of dynamic dictionary using a trie and show an efficient way to trace the dictionary during decoding. Then we propose a joint decoding scheme of polar codes taking into account both information from the channel and the source. The proposed scheme has the same decoding complexity as the list decoding of polar codes. A list-size adaptive joint decoding is further implemented to largely reduce the decoding complexity. We conclude by simulation that the joint decoding schemes outperform stand-alone polar codes with CRC-aided successive cancellation list decoding by over 0.6 dB.

description: W state is a key resource in quantum communication. Fusion technology has been proven to be a good candidate for preparing a large-size W state from two or more small-size W states in linear optical system. It is of great importance to study how to fuse W states via light-matter interface. Here we show that it is possible to prepare large-size W-state networks using a fusion mechanism in cavity QED system. The detuned interaction between three atoms and a vacuum cavity mode constitute the main fusion mechanism, based on which two or three small-size atomic W states can be fused into a larger-size W state. If no excitation is detected from those three atoms, the remaining atoms are still in the product of two or three new W states, which can be re-fused. The complicated Fredkin gate used in the previous fusion schemes is avoided here. W states of size 2 can be fused as well. The feasibility analysis shows that our fusion processes maybe implementable with the current technology. Our results demonstrate how the light-matter interaction based fusion mechanism can be realized, and may become the starting point for the fusion of multipartite entanglement in cavity QED system.

Subjects: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)

description: Background: There is growing recognition that reproductive factors are associated with increased risk of future cardiovascular disease. Infertility has been less well studied, although emerging data support its association with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Whether infertility is associated with future risk of heart failure (HF) is not known.
 Objectives: This study sought to examine the development of HF and HF subtypes in women with and without history of infertility.
 Methods: We followed postmenopausal women from the Women’s Health Initiative prospectively for the development of HF. Infertility was self-reported at study baseline. Multivariable cause-specific Cox models were used to evaluate the association of infertility with incident overall HF and HF subtypes (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]: left ventricular ejection fraction of $50% vs heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]: left ventricular ejection fraction of <50%]).
 Results: Among 38,528 postmenopausal women (mean age: 63 +/- 7 years), 5,399 (14%) participants reported a history of infertility. Over a median follow-up of 15 years, 2,373 developed incident HF, including 807 with HFrEF and 1,133 with HFpEF. Infertility was independently associated with future risk of overall HF (HR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.04-1.30; P = 0.006). Notably, when examining HF subtypes, infertility was associated with future risk of HFpEF (HR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.09-1.48; P = 0.002) but not HFrEF (HR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.80-1.18).
 Conclusions: Infertility was significantly associated with incident HF. This was driven by increased risk of HFpEF, but not HFrEF, and appeared independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and other infertility-related conditions. Future research should investigate mechanisms that underlie the link between infertility and HFpEF.

description: We present an asymptotically exact renormalization-group theory of the superfluid--insulator transition in one-dimensional disordered systems, with emphasis on an accurate description of the interplay between the Giamarchi--Schulz (instanton--anti-instanton) and weak-link (scratched-XY) criticalities. Combining the theory with extensive quantum Monte Carlo simulations allows us to shed new light on the ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional disordered Bose-Hubbard model at unit filling.
