Monomeric ruthenium(II) bipyridal dihydroxy anthraquinone complexes: Synthesis, characterization and DNA binding
Creators: name: Al Waheeb, Dhuha A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Ruthenium (II) bipyridal dihydroxy anthraquinone complexes examined are structurally similar, except for the hydrogen-bonding hydroxyl (OH) position. They are considered substituents. This allows examination of the contribution of the role of hydrogen bonding on the DNA binding affinity. Moreover, the anthraquinone moieties are found in many anticancer/antitumor drugs, so examining the binding interactions is useful for both DNA/drug molecular recognition and in the design of new, less toxic drugs. Absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques were used to study the binding interactions of the ruthenium (II) bipyridyl dihydroxy anthraquinone complexes (1,8-DHAQ, 1,5-DRAQ and 1,4-DHAQ) with calf thymus DNA. The effect of complex concentration on the binding constant was also examined. In order to produce highly pure complexes, modified synthetic procedures were designed and examined. The complexes display a hypochromicity and red shift in the metal-to-ligand charge transfer bands (MLCT) upon DNA addition. The calculated binding constants were 7.5, 5.0 and 3.8 x 104/M for the 1,8-, 1,5- and 1,4-DHAQ respectively. The observed binding constant varied with the [DNA]/[Ru] ratio. The 1,8-DRAQ complex binds stronger at low concentration, whereas the 1,5-DHAQ complex has the reverse case. Fluorescence quenching was observed; the 1,5-DHAQ complex shows the highest quenching ability (I0/I) of 2.60 compared to 1.80 and 1.14 for the 1,8- and 1,4-DHAQ respectively. Based on the spectroscopic and binding results, the complexes may partially intercalate. The introduction of hydrogen bonding functionalities provides no net increases in DNA binding affinity. The modified synthetic procedure produced a highly pure product for the 1,8- and 1,4-DHAQ complexes. The crude product was black indicating the predominance of the final pure complex. The solubility of the complexes varied at different salt concentrations, particularly for the 1,4-DHAQ complex. At buffer concentration 50 mM Tris/50 mM NaCl a fibrous-blue precipitate was formed; decrease in the UV-Visible absorbance with time suggests dimerization and higher order aggregation.

description: The present experiment was carried out to know the effect of sodium bicarbonate on the keeping quality of raw milk. For this purpose, milk samples were collected from Bangladesh Agricultural University Dairy Farm. Initial quality of the collected milk samples were evaluated at Dairy Technology ,Laboratory of the Department of Dairy Science through some physical and chemical tests. There after .collected samples were preserved at room temperature (32-34°C) with 0.10, 0.150 and 0.20 percent sodium bicarbonate. One group was kept without sodium bicarbonate and was considered as control group. The quality of milk samples were measured at every two hours interval until upto 12 hours. and thereafter every .one hour interval until spoilage to asses the quality of milk. , Initially, colour, flavour and texture of all milk samples were normal (tom), but with progressive storage time colour, flavour and texture of all samples deteriorated gradually. The deterioration was more rapid for control samples than that of the sodium bicarbonate treated samples. Acidity percent of all samples increased gradually during storage period and the differences in acidity of milk samples in different treatments were significant (p<0.01) increased was significantly (p<0.01) more in control samples than that of the treated samples. The result of acidity test was supported by COB test. Control samples spoiled after 12 hours but that of 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 percent sodium bicarbonate treated samples spoiled after 13,14 and 16 hours respectively. It may be concluded that NaHCO3 is the effective chemical for neutralizing the acids produced by acid producing bacteria and can be used for a short term preservation of milk under rural condition of Bangladesh where scientific cooling or pasteurization facilities are not available.

description: Objective: Research impact and evaluation services are incredibly important in the area of translational medicine. One method for evaluation is publication analysis, which plays a valuable role in helping an institution gain insights about its research and clinical activities that might not be discernible from other means, including some of the available institution-level data stores. Methods: We used publication analysis and information visualization to evaluate the outputs of translational medicine. We discussed the results of harvesting bibliographic metadata from literature databases, analyzing percentile rankings of publications, and reviewing topical trends over time. Results: We found that coverage of journals with a translational focus varies by resource. Additionally, each resource allows for differing types and quantities of exportable metadata. Publications were analyzed based on the available metadata, and visualizations were created to show the results of the publication analysis. Conclusions: The insights gained through evaluation, in particular using publication analysis, allow both investigators and the institutions to convey the benefits and impact of their research and clinical efforts to stakeholders. Publication analysis also provides valuable information that can be used for benchmarking, forecasting, and strategic planning activities.

description: This analysis examines the determinants of compensation from both employee and firm perspectives. The findings indicated that experience, education, firm size, and form of ownership are the key determinants of compensation. Firm profitability was only significant in the determination of annual bonus. The form of ownership also affects the structure of compensation packages with cooperatives providing larger compensation packages than independently owned firms, but smaller bonuses. An examination of the returns to a college education indicated that manager have positive net returns, while field salespeople and general plant personnel will have marginal and negative returns, respectively.
Commodity prices as a tool for monetary management

description: With the help of a theoretical model---which is similar to Dornbusch's (1976) "overshooting" model with the inclusion of commodity prices---this dissertation's first point examines the relationship between a commodity price index and final policy variables. The purpose is to evaluate under which circumstances commodity prices---treated as an asset variable which reacts immediately to shocks unlike final prices, which tend to be sticky---provide usable information to the policy makers in predicting final policy variables. With respect to past literature, the model is stochastic and is solved in discrete time for every single shock. In the second part, the dissertation reexamines the empirical evidence on commodity prices as a leading indicator of final prices. Vector Error Correction estimates tend generally to support the importance of commodity prices as an information variable. The forecasting ability of this model is, however, rather poor; in addition, in most cases, the hypothesis could not be rejected that commodity prices do not "Granger cause" consumer prices. Regression analysis conducted on the same data yields more promising results, but only when explanatory and dependent variables are in first differences computed over 12 months, rather than over one month. In most cases, commodity prices (in levels and first differences) do have significant additional informative power in explaining and predicting consumer prices. Chow tests also suggest that the hypothesis of no structural breaks over the sample period (1975--1997) cannot be rejected at the confidence level of 5 per cent. In addition, there is some evidence that the signal extraction capacity of commodity prices has improved somewhat over the period 1994--97. In the latter part of the dissertation, it is shown that under certain circumstances the performance of a monetary rule a la McCallum---measured in terms of its capacity of reducing GDP variability---can be improved by adding commodity prices in the money creation rule.

description: We report the first measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (\cevns) on argon using a liquid argon detector at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source. Two independent analyses prefer \cevns over the background-only null hypothesis with greater than $3σ$ significance. The measured cross section, averaged over the incident neutrino flux, is (2.2 $\pm$ 0.7) $\times$10$^{-39}$ cm$^2$ -- consistent with the standard model prediction. The neutron-number dependence of this result, together with that from our previous measurement on CsI, confirms the existence of the \cevns process and provides improved constraints on non-standard neutrino interactions.

description: One-photon and two-photon wavepackets of entangled two-photon states in spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) fields are calculated and measured experimentally. For type-II SPDC, measured one-photon and two-photon wavepackets agree well with theory. For type-I SPDC, the measured one-photon wavepacket agree with the theory. However, the two-photon wavepacket is much bigger than the expected value and the visibility of interference is low. We identify the sources of this discrepancy as the spatial filtering of the two-photon bandwidth and non-pair detection events caused by the detector apertures and the tuning curve characteristics of the type-I SPDC.

description: Saskatchewan All-Risk Crop Insurance Is an important Income stabilization program to grain producers. However, critics of the program maintain that it Is not a useful risk management tool for producers who farm in higher yielding regions. They support their arguments by the fact that participation rates in more productive regions are substantially lower than the less productive regions. The purpose of this paper is to examine yield expectations in conjunction with the regional design of the 1989 crop insurance program to determine if these criticisms are valid. The results of the analysis Indicate that many of the above criticisms are correct. In addition, they point out that the current premium structure of the program tends to make insurance of stubble crops a better deal than the insurance of summerfallow crops. Finally, the results suggest that crop insurance has a greater influence on land use in those areas where more marginal land exists.

description: Effects of the quantum interference in collisions of particles have a twofold nature: they arise because of the auto-correlation of a complex scattering amplitude and due to spatial coherence of the incoming wave packets. Both these effects are neglected in a conventional scattering theory dealing with the delocalized plane waves, although they sometimes must be taken into account in particle and atomic physics. Here, we study the role of a transverse coherence length of the packets, putting special emphasis on the case in which one of the particles is twisted, that is, it carries an orbital angular momentum $\ell\hbar$. In $ee, ep$, and $pp$ collisions the interference results in corrections to the plane-wave cross sections, usually negligible at the energies $\sqrt{s} \gg 1$ GeV but noticeable for smaller ones, especially if there is a twisted hadron with $|\ell| > 10^3$ in initial state. Beyond the perturbative QCD, these corrections become only moderately attenuated allowing one to probe a phase of the hadronic amplitude as a function of $s$ and $t$. In this regime, the coherence effects can compete with the loop corrections in QED and facilitate testing the phenomenological models of the strong interaction at intermediate and low energies.

description: A drive by download is a download that occurs without users action or knowledge. It usually triggers an exploit of vulnerability in a browser to downloads an unknown file. The malicious program in the downloaded file installs itself on the victims machine. Moreover, the downloaded file can be camouflaged as an installer that would further install malicious software. Drive by downloads is a very good example of the exponential increase in malicious activity over the Internet and how it affects the daily use of the web. In this paper, we try to address the problem caused by drive by downloads from different standpoints. We provide in depth understanding of the difficulties in dealing with drive by downloads and suggest appropriate solutions. We propose machine learning and feature selection solutions to remedy the the drive-by download problem. Experimental results reported 98.2% precision, 98.2% F-Measure and 97.2% ROC area.

Revisiting the $P$-wave charmonium radiative decays $h_{c}\rightarrowγη^{(\prime)}$ with relativistic corrections

description: The $P$-wave charmonium decays $h_{c}\rightarrowγη^{(\prime)}$ are revisited by taking into account relativistic corrections. The decay amplitudes are derived in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, in which the involved one-loop integrals are evaluated analytically. Intriguingly, from both the quark-antiquark content and the gluonic content of $η^{(\prime)}$, the relativistic corrections make significant contributions to the decay rates of $h_{c}\rightarrowγη^{(\prime)}$. By comparison with the leading-order contributions from the quark-antiquark content (one-loop level), the ones from the gluonic content (tree level) are also important, which is compatible with the conclusion obtained without relativistic corrections. Usually, for $η$ production processes, the predicted branching ratios are sensitive to the angle of $η-η^{\prime}$ mixing. As an illustration, using the Feldmann-Kroll-Stech result about the mixing angle $ϕ=39.3^{\circ}\pm1.0^{\circ}$ as input, we find that the predicted ratio $R_{h_{c}}=\mathcal{B}(h_{c}\rightarrowγη)/\mathcal{B}(h_{c}\rightarrowγη^{\prime})$ is much smaller than the experiment measurement. While, with $ϕ=33.5^{\circ}\pm0.9^{\circ}$ extracted from the asymptotic limit of the $γ^{\ast}γ-η^{\prime}$ transition form factor, we obtain $R_{h_{c}}=30.3\%$ in consistent with $R_{h_{c}}^{exp}=(30.7\pm11.3\pm8.7)\%$. As a cross-check, the mixing angle $ϕ=33.8^{\circ}\pm2.5^{\circ}$ is extracted by employing the ratio $R_{h_{c}}$, and a brief discussion on the difference in the determinations of $ϕ$ is given.

description: In Experiment E155 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, the spin dependent structure function g1(x, Q 2) was measured for both the proton and deuteron. This was accomplished by scattering 48.3 GeV highly polarized electrons (0.813 +/- 0.020) off polarized 15NH3 (proton) and 6LiD (deuteron) targets. Data were collected in March and April of 1997 using three fixed angle, momentum analyzing spectrometers centered at 2.75°, 5.5°, and 10.5°. This enabled a kinematic coverage of 0.01 < x < 0.9 and 1 GeV2 < Q2 < 40 GeV2. At an average Q2 of 5 GeV2, the integrals in the measured region were &smallint;0.0140.9 g1 (x)dx = 0.119 +/- 0.002(stat.) +/- 0.009(syst.) for the proton and 0.043 +/- 0.003(stat.) +/- 0.003(syst.) for the deuteron. Using a perturbative QCD analysis which included a global data set, the results were found to be consistent with the Bjorken Sum Rule. Asymmetry measurements also were made using photoproduced hadrons. Data were collected concurrently with the g1 data. For the proton, the asymmetries were small and non-zero. The deuteron measurements were consistent with zero.

description: Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic we have reached the most dangerous time yet for people with disability. While Australia fared well for the first two years of the pandemic, we have reached a critical juncture. Without urgent action we will see major adverse impacts for people with disability and their families, including death.
 There are now unprecedented levels of infection in Australia because of the high transmissibility of Omicron. This has resulted in major staff shortages in health and disability services.
 Right now, people with disability are at high risk of not getting essential supports for ordinary daily activities from eating to assistance with personal hygiene. They are also at very high risk of being infected with COVID-19 from workers and their household members, especially if they and/or their workers and household members are not fully vaccinated or have not received booster doses.
 In this position statement, the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health makes urgent recommendations in relation to health care, disability supports, vaccination and monitoring to reduce the risk for people with disability in this current situation.

Discovery of a large-scale filament connected to the massive galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745 at z=0.55

description: We report the detection of a 4/h70 Mpc long large-scale filament leading into the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745. The extent of this object well beyond the cluster's nominal virial radius (~2.3 Mpc) rules out prior interaction between its constituent galaxies and the cluster and makes it a prime candidate for a genuine filament as opposed to a merger remnant or a double cluster. The structure was discovered as a pronounced overdensity of galaxies selected to have V-R colors close to the cluster red sequence. Extensive spectroscopic follow-up of over 300 of these galaxies in a region covering the filament and the cluster confirms that the entire structure is located at the cluster redshift of z=0.545. Featuring galaxy surface densities of typically 15/Mpc^2 down to luminosities of 0.10 L(*,V), the most diffuse parts of the filament are comparable in density to the clumps of red galaxies found around A851 in the only similar study carried out to date (Kodama et al.). Our direct detection of an extended large-scale filament funneling matter onto a massive, distant cluster provides a superb target for in-depth studies of the evolution of galaxies in environments of greatly varying density, and supports the predictions from theoretical models and numerical simulations of structure formation in a hierarchical picture.

description: We discuss the transition strength between the disordered ground state and the basic low-lying triplet excitation for interacting dimer materials by presenting theoretical calculations and series expansions as well as inelastic neutron scattering results for the material KCuCl_3. We describe in detail the features resulting from the presence of two differently oriented dimers per unit cell and show how energies and spectral weights of the resulting two modes are related to each other. We present results from the perturbation expansion in the interdimer interaction strength and thus demonstrate that the wave vector dependence of the simple dimer approximation is modified in higher orders. Explicit results are given in 10th order for dimers coupled in 1D, and in 2nd order for dimers coupled in 3D with application to KCuCl_3 and TlCuCl_3.

description: The cosmic evolution of bias of different source populations with underlying dark matter density field in post reionization era can shed light on large scale structures. Studying the angular and spatial distribution of different compact sources using deep radio catalogue at low-frequency is essential to understand the matter distribution of the present Universe. Here, we investigate the relationship of luminous matter with their host dark matter haloes by measuring the angular and spatial clustering of sources (two-point statistics), using deep radio observation of ELAIS N1 (EN1) field with upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) at 300-500 MHz. We also analyze the 612 MHz GMRT archival data of the same field to understand the cosmic evolution of clustering of different source populations. We classify the sources as star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) based on their radio luminosity. We find that the spatial clustering length and bias to the dark matter density field of SFGs are smaller than AGNs at both frequencies. This proves that AGNs are mainly hosted by massive haloes and hence strongly clustered. However, a small decrease in the bias for both kind of sources at higher frequency indicates that we are most likely tracing the faint objects residing in less massive haloes at higher frequencies. Our results are in excellent agreement with previous findings at radio and multi-frequency surveys. However, comparison with SKADS simulation suggests that the halo mass for different populations used in the simulation is systematically lower. This work quantifies the spatial distribution of extragalactic compact objects in EN1 field and bridges the gap between shallow and deep surveys.

Prison group dynamics: Political and criminal inmates in Indonesia. A case study
Creators: name: Awaludin, Abdul Hamid
Publisher: name: American University

description: This study is a case study of Indonesian prisoners. It explores the life of both political and criminal inmates within the walls. Thus, similarities and dissimilarities of their behavior in everyday life within the prison are the main scrutiny of this study. In sum, this study focuses much on the dynamic of group relationships. To this end, I employed a field research method to gather my data by asking 15 open-ended questions to both groups of criminal and political inmates. The outcome is very fascinating. These two group of inmates, in many ways, share some similarities and differences. In addition, they dislike and distrust each other. However, both criminal and political inmates agree with the fact that the guards and officials of the prison are corrupt and power abusers. In the eyes of the guards and officials, both criminal and political inmates are law breakers who need to be incarcerated in order to fix their mental attitude. "We uphold the law and they break the law," said one official. Even though both criminal and political inmates live within the same environment, political inmates are much more able to cope with their lives within the walls than criminal inmates. Political inmates are able to confront their realities maturely while criminal inmates live their lives with high tension and anxiety. Furthermore, the demarcation line between criminal and political inmates also lies in the strong beliefs that political inmates hold. Political inmates are committed to bettering society, while criminal inmates are self-interest oriented and can be considered against society. In addition, political inmates perceive their fellow criminal inmates as destroyers of society, while the latter see the former as the illusionists who did not do anything to improve the quality of life of the people whom they always claim to represent. In the eyes of criminal inmates, political inmates are the elite who think only of themselves and never care about the rest. Overall, my research found that both criminal and political inmates basically live in an environment of anxiety, tension, and fear. One of the key problems is law of the prison that is truly in favor of the guards and officials. This law was enacted during the Dutch occupation, which automatically reflects the attitude of the Dutch regime toward its colony. That is why the inmates live with unforgotten days with unforgiven men. Unfortunately, their grievances or voices are unheard.

description: In 1996, Berger and Slonczewski independently predicted that a large enough spin-polarized dc current density sent perpendicularly through a ferromagnetic layer could produce magnetic excitations (spin-waves) or reversal of magnetization (switching). In the past few years, both current-driven switching and current-driven excitation of spin-waves have been observed. The switching is of potential technological interest for direct 'writing' of magnetic random access memory (MRAM) or magnetic media. The spin-wave generation could provide a new source of dc generated microwave radiation. We describe what has been learned experimentally about these two related phenomena, and some models being tested to explain these observations.
