description: Further study on the constituents from the stems of Hydrangea paniculata Sieb resulted in isolation of two new compounds 1–2, including 1 monoterpenoid and 1 phenolic glycoside, along with 10 known compounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including UV, IR, MS, and NMR experiments, along with chemical methods. At 10 μM, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited comparable activities with bicyclol in vitro assays for hepatoprotective activity against APAP-induced HepG2 cell damage.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair using suture augmentation (SA) in 93 consecutive patients (67 female) with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Patients’ outcomes were determined using International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score (LS) and Tegner score (TS). Knee-laxity was assessed using the KT-1000 arthrometer. Eighty-eight patients (67 female, mean age 42 years ± standard deviation (SD) 13) were available for follow-up after a mean time of 21 months (range 12–39). Three patients (3%) underwent revision surgery and were excluded from functional analysis. The mean IKDC score was 87.4 ± 11, mean LS was 92.6 ± 11, mean pre-traumatic TS was 6 ± 2 and mean postoperative TS was 6 ± 2, with a mean difference (TSDiff) of 1 ± 1. The interval from injury to surgery had no significant impact on the postoperative IKDC (p = 0.228), LS (p = 0.377) and TSDiff (p = 0.572). Patients’ age (>40 years), BMI (>30) and coexisting ligament or meniscal injuries did not seem to influence postoperative functional results. Primary ACL repair using SA provides good to excellent functional outcomes with a low probability of revision surgery at a minimum of 12 months.

description: Increasing evidence shows that the formation of misfolded aggregates amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide is associated with the Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent experiments reveal a significant correlation of the amount of trimer species bound to neurons with increasing neuro-toxicity. Our previous computational study demonstrated that carbon nanotubes (CNT) can inhibit effectively the formation of β-sheet-rich oligomers of Aβ(16-22) – a hydrophobic peptide essential for Aβ fibrillization. However, the influence of CNT on the oligomers formed by full-length Aβ remains elusive. In this study, we have investigated the conformational dynamics of Aβ(1-42) trimer, built from an NMR structure of α-helical monomer, in the absence and presence of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). Our simulations demonstrate that SWCNT can significantly hinder the trimerisation and prevents the secondary structure formation of Aβ(1-42) peptide. Hydrophobic and aromatic stacking interactions between SWCNT and Aβ play important roles in the secondary structure formation of the Aβ trimer. This study reveals a complete picture of the detailed preventable mechanism of full-length Aβ(1-42) by SWCNT, providing theoretical insights into the development of drug candidates of AD.
A Grammar of God: Translation, Grammar and Memory in the Arte y reglas de la lengua tagala (1610)

description: This dissertation investigates the translationality of missionary linguistics through an analysis of the Arte y reglas de la lengua tagala and its role in the transcultural commemoration of Christianity as a colonial religion in the early modern Philippines. Published in Castilian in 1610 by the Spanish Dominican friar Francisco Blancas de San José, the text is the primary model for many subsequent colonial grammars of Tagalog, the basis of the modern-day Philippine national language called Filipino. It is argued that beyond its contributions to a linguistic analysis of Tagalog, the text should be read as a grammar of God because its prescriptivist tendencies in formulating grammatical rules also provide modes with which the colonial conceptualizations of divinity are to be articulated in the indigenous tongue. In both the theoretical and practical components of this dissertation, translation is considered as a process inherent in missionary grammatization that serves to commemorate the problematic equivalences of the colonial encounter. It is through this process that Tagalog is endowed not only with structures based on the categories of Latin, but also with historicizing themes that constitute a hybridized pastoral discourse on colonial Christianity.

description: This book analyzes the characteristics of the green road (institutitional repositories) in Latin America for the development of open access. In Latin America, the development of these systems by teaching and research institutions, the so-called institutional repositories, are appointed by scientific literature as a promising area for the fulfillment of the purposes of open access, due to the public source of research funding in the region and also to the very features of institutional repositories. Overall, results showed that Latin America has significant advances in the development of institutional repositories, as compared to other regions, but it is still very incipient in programs and policies to promote open access by funding institutions of scientific knowledge production in the region.

description: Objective: A child safety restraint (CSR) is an effective measure to reduce the risk of child injury from traffic collisions. This study aims to explore knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding CSRs in a Chinese population. Methods: A cross-sectional survey regarding CSR use was conducted from April to May 2014 in Shenzhen municipality. Respondents were parents who had at least one child 0 to 6 years of age and owned a car. These parents provided a self-report of demographic characteristics as well as information about their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward CSR use. Results: Most respondents had a fair level of knowledge about CSRs, with higher mean knowledge scores demonstrated among the respondents who were male, had an advanced degree, had a higher income, owned an expensive car, had an older child, drove frequently with children, and routinely drove greater distances with children. In addition, most respondents had a more positive attitude toward CSR use, with a higher mean attitude score among those who had an advanced degree, owned an expensive car, drove frequently with children, and routinely drove greater distances with children. However, some myths regarding CSR use also existed (e.g., parents can effectively protect their children in a car collision by holding them, they are not required to purchase the CSR for child safety if there is no mandatory provision by law, among others). Among 3,768 respondents who had at least one child and a car, 27.8% (1,047) had a CSR and 22.9% (864) used the CSR. A logistic regression model showed the likelihood of CSR ownership to be higher if respondents drove frequently or greater distances and was dependent on both the education level of the respondents and the age of the children. The frequency of CSR use increased as the age of children decreased (P = .0274). Respondents who owned a CSR and those who frequently used CSRs had higher mean knowledge and mean attitude scores. Conclusions: This observational study found that although the majority of respondents had fair levels of knowledge and positive attitudes, they had lower rates of CSR ownership and use. Therefore, efforts at developing opportunities to expand public awareness of CSR use should be made to improve child passenger safety practices and eliminate child injury caused by traffic collisions.

description: With the rise of deep learning in various applications, privacy concerns around the protection of training data have become a critical area of research. Whereas prior studies have focused on privacy risks in single-modal models, we introduce a novel method to assess privacy for multi-modal models, specifically vision-language models like CLIP. The proposed Identity Inference Attack (IDIA) reveals whether an individual was included in the training data by querying the model with images of the same person. Letting the model choose from a wide variety of possible text labels, the model reveals whether it recognizes the person and, therefore, was used for training. Our large-scale experiments on CLIP demonstrate that individuals used for training can be identified with very high accuracy. We confirm that the model has learned to associate names with depicted individuals, implying the existence of sensitive information that can be extracted by adversaries. Our results highlight the need for stronger privacy protection in large-scale models and suggest that IDIAs can be used to prove the unauthorized use of data for training and to enforce privacy laws.

description: We present the design, simulation, and characterization of the radial opposed migration ion and aerosol classifier (ROMIAC), a compact differential electrical mobility classifier. We evaluate the performance of the ROMIAC using a combination of finite element modeling and experimental validation of two nearly identical instruments using tetra-alkyl ammonium halide mass standards and sodium chloride particles. Mobility and efficiency calibrations were performed over a wide range of particle diameters and flow rates to characterize ROMIAC performance under the range of anticipated operating conditions. The ROMIAC performs as designed, though performance deviates from that predicted using simplistic models of the instrument. The underlying causes of this non-ideal behavior are found through finite element simulations that predict the performance of the ROMIAC with greater accuracy than the simplistic models. It is concluded that analytical performance models based on idealized geometries, flows, and fields should not be relied on to make accurate a priori predictions about instrumental behavior if the actual geometry or fields deviate from the ideal assumptions. However, if such deviations are accurately captured, finite element simulations have the potential to predict instrumental performance. The present prototype of the ROMIAC maintains its resolution over nearly three orders of magnitude in particle mobility, obtaining sub-20 nm particle size distributions in a compact package with relatively low flow rate operation requirements. © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Background and Objective: Apelin is a bioactive peptide manifesting a potent vasodilatory property. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate for the first time whether circulating apelin differed significantly between hypertensive patients and normotensive controls. Methods: Both PubMed and Embase were searched for eligible articles. Eligibility evaluation and data collection were done independently by two investigators. Weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated under random-effects model by STATA. Results: Ten studies were synthesized finally, including 1610 patients and 1105 controls. Overall analysis revealed that circulating apelin was significantly lowered in patients than in controls (WMD = −39.85 pg/mL, 95% CI: −65.56 to −14.15; P = 0.002), with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 89.4%). By race, patients had lower circulating apelin than controls in Caucasian populations (WMD = −79.82 pg/mL, 95% CI: −105.80 to −53.85; P < 0.001), without heterogeneity (I2=0.0%), while no significance was observed in Chinese and African-Americans. Further grouping studies by source of controls found a significant reduction in circulating apelin in studies with hospital-based controls (WMD = −96.28 pg/mL, 95% CI: −129.67 to −62.88; P < 0.001) (I2 = 49.4%), but not in studies with population-based controls. Conclusions: Via a meta-analysis of 10 studies and on 2715 subjects, our findings demonstrated that lowered circulating apelin was significantly associated with an increased risk for hypertension, especially in Caucasian populations.

description: Continual learning and few-shot learning are important frontiers in progress toward broader Machine Learning (ML) capabilities. Recently, there has been intense interest in combining both. One of the first examples to do so was the Continual few-shot Learning (CFSL) framework of Antoniou et al. arXiv:2004.11967. In this study, we extend CFSL in two ways that capture a broader range of challenges, important for intelligent agent behaviour in real-world conditions. First, we increased the number of classes by an order of magnitude, making the results more comparable to standard continual learning experiments. Second, we introduced an 'instance test' which requires recognition of specific instances of classes -- a capability of animal cognition that is usually neglected in ML. For an initial exploration of ML model performance under these conditions, we selected representative baseline models from the original CFSL work and added a model variant with replay. As expected, learning more classes is more difficult than the original CFSL experiments, and interestingly, the way in which image instances and classes are presented affects classification performance. Surprisingly, accuracy in the baseline instance test is comparable to other classification tasks, but poor given significant occlusion and noise. The use of replay for consolidation substantially improves performance for both types of tasks, but particularly for the instance test.

description: A pair of unusual melibiose esters (1α/1β) and a pair of unusual raffinose esters (2α/2β), were isolated from Scrophularia ningpoensis. Structures of them were established by detailed spectroscopic analyses to be 6-O-(E)-cinnamoyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α(β)-d-glucopyranose (1α/1β) and 6-O-(E)/(Z)-cinnamoyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-fructofuranose (2α/2β), respectively. All these compounds were evaluated for antifouling activity against the settlement of Balanus amphitrite larvae, along with the cytotoxic effect against the proliferation of HeLa cell lines.

description: Magnon bands are known to exhibit nontrivial topology in ordered magnets under suitable conditions, engendering topological phases referred to as magnonic topological insulators. Conventional methods to drive a magnonic topological phase transition are bulk magnetic or thermal operations such as changing the direction of an external magnetic field or varying the temperature of the system, which are undesired in device applications of magnon topology. In this work, we lift the limitation of the magnon topology control on the bulk non-electronic manipulation by proposing a scheme to manipulate magnonic topological phases by electronic boundary operations of spin chirality injection. More specifically, we consider a ferromagnetic honeycomb lattice and show that a finite spin chirality injected from the boundary of the system via the spin Hall effects introduces a tunable sublattice-symmetry-breaking mass term to the bosonic counterpart of the Haldane model for the Chern insulators and thereby allows us to electronically manipulate the bulk topology of magnons from the boundary. The "shoulder" in the thermal Hall conductivity profile is proposed as an experimental probe of the chirality-induced topological phase transition. The scheme for the boundary manipulation of the magnon topology is shown to work for a honeycomb antiferromagnet as well. We envisage that the interfacial chirality injection may offer a nonintrusive electronic means to tune the static and the dynamical bulk properties of general magnetic systems.

description: Upper-room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UR-UVGI) is recommended for the defense against airborne pathogens in poorly ventilated rooms in public buildings or high risk environments, such as hospitals. Currently, there are few studies on the performance of UR-UVGI with the effective bacteria susceptibility constant (eZ-value) obtained from UR-UVGI experiment. In this study, the Eulerian model for the inactivation of UVGI was improved to consider the difference between exposure time and computational time, and was validated by our previous experiments. The method was applied to study numerically the performance of the UR-UVGI for 3, 6, and 10 air changes per hour (ACH) with the application of the eZ-value of airborne bacteria. Moreover, the eZ-values of commonly found bacteria, including Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, and Micrococcus luteus, were obtained from a series of experiments in a full-scale environmental chamber equipped with a UR-UVGI fixture. The eZ-values were 0.0983, 0.0586, 0.0476, and 0.0115 m2/J, respectively. Compared with the data in the literature, these eZ-values of the tested bacteria are different from the Z-values obtained from single-pass UVGI. The simulation results show that UR-UVGI exhibited the highest inactivation efficiency on S. marcescens among the tested bacteria in this study. The percentage of bacteria inactivated by UR-UVGI decreased as the ventilation rate increased. The bacteria concentration in the breathing zone under low ventilation rate could be decreased using UR-UVGI. The findings demonstrate that high indoor air quality can be achieved with the application of UR-UVGI without the need to maintain high ventilation rate.

description: Upper-room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UR-UVGI) is recommended for the defense of against airborne pathogens in poorly ventilated rooms in public buildings or high risk environments, such as hospitals. Currently, there are few studies on the performance of UR-UVGI with the effective bacteria susceptibility constant (eZ-value) obtained from UR-UVGI experiment. In this study, the Eulerian model for the inactivation of UVGI was improved to consider the difference between exposure time and computational time, and was validated by our previous experiments. The method was applied to study numerically the performance of the UR-UVGI for 3, 6 and 10 air changes per hour (ACH) with the application of the eZ-value of airborne bacteria. Moreover, the eZ-values of commonly found bacteria, including Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, and Micrococcus luteus, were obtained from a series of experiments in a full-scale environmental chamber equipped with a UR-UVGI fixture.

description: Поняття «бренд» займає в маркетингових дослідженнях центральне місце, проте у наукових колах немає єдності у його трактуванні і визначенні остаточної ролі у формуванні додаткової цінності товару. Традиційно словом «бренд» позначають походження чи джерело виникнення продукту. Виділяють кілька основних підходів до визначення поняття «бренд». Перший заснований на концепції «продукт-плюс», згідно з яким бренд – це ім’я, термін, знак, символ, дизайн або їх комбінація, які призначені для ідентифікації товарів або послуг одного продавця чи групи продавців, а також для того, аби відрізняти товари або послуги від товарів або послуг конкурентів. Другий підхід фокусується на методах досягнення диференціації та вигодах, які отримує споживач від придбання бренду. Бренд розуміється як імідж товару і як система цінностей чи як джерело додаткових цінностей. Третій підхід поєднує у собі два попередні, згідно з яким успішний бренд – це, перш за все, ідентифікований товар, послуга, людина або місце, поєднані таким чином, що покупець або користувач сприймає їх релевантні, унікальні, додані цінності, які повною мірою відповідають їхнім запитам і потребам. Успіх цих брендів значною мірою є результатом здатності зберігати ці додаткові цінності в умовах конкуренції.

З погляду теорії брендингу продукт має три виміри, які впливають на купівельні рішення споживачів, забезпечуючи його цінність: 1) основні переваги; 2) додаткові переваги; 3) розширені переваги.

Головними чинниками у формуванні цінності бренду є такі: досвід використання; сприйняття споживача; сила переконання; зовнішній аспект; ім’я і репутація виробника; емоційні підстави. А отже, можливими напрямками у створенні додаткової цінності бренду можуть бути: підвищення рівня візуалізації бренду; впровадження інновацій, зорієнтованих на підвищення цінності бренду для споживачів; диференціація бренду, яка дозволяє споживачеві отримати додаткові відчутні і невідчутні переваги; репозиціонування на основі сучасних технологій та засобів реклами і комунікації з метою адаптації цінності бренду до ринкових умов; переформатування і зміна дистрибуції задля додаткових можливостей зробити бренд більш доступним для покупців, незалежно від місця перебування останніх. Таким чином формування додаткової цінності бренду, з одного боку, є основою створення додаткової цінності товару, з другого – розширення конкурентних позицій на ринку, підвищення загальної ефективності функціонування суб’єкта господарювання.

description: A new diarylheptanoid, namely trans-(4R,5S)-epoxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (1), and a new natural product, 7-(4″-hydroxy-3″-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-hepta-4E,6E-dien-3-one (2), were obtained from the aqueous extract of Alpinia officinarum Hance, together with three other diarylheptanoids, 5-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (3), 1,7-diphenyl-4E-en-3-heptanone (4) and 5-methoxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (5). The structures were characterised mainly by analysing their physical data including IR, NMR and HRMS. This study highlights that the 4,5-epoxy moiety in 1 is rarely seen in diarylheptanoids. In addition, the five isolates were tested for their differentiation activity of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The results showed that these compounds could dose-dependently promote adipocyte differentiation without cytotoxicity (IC50 > 100 μM).

description: Sabina chinensis cv. Kaizuca (SCK) is a variant of S. chinensis L. The essential oil from its leaves exhibited α-amylase inhibitory activity in vitro and the IC50 value was 187.08 ± 0.56 μg/mL. Nineteen compounds were identified from this essential oil by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The major compounds identified were bornyl acetate (42.6%), elemol (20.5%), β-myrcene (13.7%) and β-linalool (4.0%). In order to study the reason of the α-amylase inhibitory activity of this essential oil, the identified compounds were docked with α-amylase by molecular docking individually. Among these compounds, γ-eudesmol exhibited the lowest binding energy (−6.73 kcal/mol), followed by α-copaen-11-ol (−6.66 kcal/mol), cubedol (−6.39 kcal/mol) and α-acorenol (−6.12 kcal/mol). The results indicated that these compounds were the active ingredients responsible for the α-amylase inhibitory activity of essential oil from SCK.

description: In the past few months, a range of grassroots initiatives have gained significant momentum to duplicate US government agency data. These initiatives are inspired by recent reports that scientific data and documentation have been removed from government websites, and by concerns over US budget proposals that slash scientific budgets [1]. National media outlets have reported on numerous "data rescue," "data refuge," and "guerrilla archiving" events that have taken place around the US and in Canada during the past few months [2]. Many of these events have focused on creating copies of Earth science data generated and held by US federal agencies. These activities have attracted hundreds of volunteers who have spent considerable time and energy working on duplicating federal data.
Early connections have been made between the rescue volunteers and the federally-funded data community; these conversations have highlighted some of the different perspectives and opportunities regarding agency data. The two goals of this document are to provide the perspective of Earth science data centers holding US federal agency data on this issue, and second, to provide guidance for groups who are organizing or taking part in data rescue events. This paper is not a how-to document, and does not take a position on the political aspects of these efforts. Given the extent of the US government data holdings in the Earth sciences and other domains, it is inevitable that any grassroots data rescue will have to make strategic choices about how to invest their efforts. This document is intended to describe considerations for data rescue activities in relation to the day-to-day work of existing federal and federally-funded Earth science data archiving organizations.
The authors use the ‘data rescue’ terminology throughout this text to connect with the stated goals of the grassroots ‘data rescue’ communities, though we do wish to push back on the assumption that the data being targeted by these efforts are necessarily in need of ‘rescue.’ As we discuss below, many of these data are, in fact, well managed and safe, though sometimes in ways that are less-than-obvious to someone new to the domain. We look forward to working with these communities to develop a shared sense of risk for federal data.

description: The rose petal effect (large apparent contact angles accompanied by high affinity to water) has greatly inspired researchers recently. In this paper, the rose-petal surfaces with tunable high water adhesion have been prepared successfully via a facile electroless galvanic deposition process as well as the subsequent modification with stearic acid on zinc substrates. We have regulated the concentration of CoSO4 solution in the process of electroless galvanic deposition to control the surface topography. After being modified with stearic acid, the as-prepared cobalt coated films showed similar apparent contact angles larger than 150° but contrast high water adhesion. To the best of our knowledge, the fabrication of rose petal surfaces with tunable water adhesion is still scarce. The largest water droplet volumes suspended on the tunable rose petal surfaces were 8, 24 and 28 μL, respectively. In addition, based on the different water adhesion on the rose petal surfaces, the selective transportation of microdroplets with different volumes has been demonstrated. We believe that these tunable adhesive rose petal surfaces would have great potential in the droplet-based microreactors.
