description: Although the antitumour activity of Vitex agnus castus fruits has been already addressed, no work has yet assessed their anti-angiogenic potential. To this purpose, several extractive fractions of such fruits were tested on zebrafish embrios by EAP assay, so that only the bioactive fractions could be subsequently tested on the chick chorioallantoic membrane by CAM assay. Bioactive fractions were also phytochemically screened to identify those bioactive compounds responsible for anti-angiogenic activity. A marked inhibition of vessel formation was detected only in zebrafish embryos treated with chloroform or ethyl acetate fractions. Considering CAM assay, chloroform fraction induced a strong reduction of microvasculature and haemoglobin content; while lower anti-angiogenic effects of the ethyl acetate fraction were determined. Phytochemical analyses confirmed the presence of several bioactive anti-angiogenic compounds. Overall, obtained preliminary results highlighted a potential anti-angiogenic activity of V. agnus castus fruits.

description: Grants and dispersion of local education spending in Brazil. Regional Studies. Since several federations rely on a decentralized system of public education, understanding local responses to intergovernmental grants is a relevant issue in regional economics. This paper investigates whether different types of grants (block, categorical and matching) increase the dispersion of education spending and impact spending inequalities across Brazilian municipalities from 2004 to 2010. The results suggest that in a decentralized fiscal system public funding based on block grants, unlike funding from categorical grants, favours differences in tastes and leads to a higher dispersion of public provision across jurisdictions. Matching grants do not produce a consistent effect on dispersion.

description: In modern philosophy of nature the World is unified and holistic. Cosmic Universe and Human History, microcosm and macrocosm, inorganic and living matter coexist and form a unique unity manifested in multiple forms. The Physical and the Mental constitute the form and the content of the World.

The world does not consist of subjects and objects, the “subject” and the “object” are metaphysical abstractions of the single and indivisible Wholeness. Man’s finite knowledge separates the Whole into parts and studies fragmentarily the beings. The Wholeness is manifested in multiple forms and each form encapsulates the Wholeness. The rational explanation of the excerpts and the intuitive apprehension of the Wholeness are required to combine and create the open thought and the holistic knowledge. This means that the measurement should be defined by the ''measure'', but the responsibility for determining the ''measure'' depends on the man. This requires that man overcomes the anthropocentric arrogance and the narcissistic selfishness and he joins the Cosmic World in a friendly and creative manner.

description: L'enseignement supérieur dans le monde entier est confronté à des défis sans précédent et est motivé par la croissance rapide de la mobilité, de la communication, de la technologie et des demandes de compétences et de diplômes. Autant de facteurs qui perturbent le marché de l'enseignement supérieur. D’autres secteurs ont réagi par une vague de fusion face à des forces similaires. L’objectif de ces fusions restent généralement similaire même dans le cas de l’enseignement supérieur.

L'importance des fusions dans le secteur de l'enseignement supérieur augmente dans de nombreux pays. Les fusions et acquisitions élargissent l'accès à l'enseignement supérieur, améliorent la qualité de l'enseignement et de la recherche et accroissent l'efficacité des établissements d'enseignement supérieur. Cependant, la recherche a montré que l’alignement des systèmes d’intégration est considéré parmi les facteurs majeurs qui influencent le succès ou l’échec d’une opération de fusion.

Dans ce sens, ce travail a pour but d’analyser les principaux aspects de l’alignement entre la stratégie organisationnelle et la stratégie SI dans un contexte de fusion. Pour cela, un modèle a été élaboré afin d’étudier le cas marocain de l’université Hassan II de Casablanca en se basant sur la clarification de l’aspect stratégique, technologique et opérationnel. Les résultats montrent que les trois aspects ont été pris en considération dans cette étude de cas.

description: The vacuum beam guide (VBG) presents a completely different solution for quantum channels to overcome the limitations of existing fiber and satellite technologies for long-distance quantum communication. With an array of aligned lenses spaced kilometers apart, the VBG offers ultra-high transparency over a wide range of optical wavelengths. With realistic parameters, the VBG can outperform the best fiber by three orders of magnitude in terms of attenuation rate. Consequently, the VBG can enable long-range quantum communication over thousands of kilometers with quantum channel capacity beyond $10^{13}$ qubit/sec, orders of magnitude higher than the state-of-the-art quantum satellite communication rate. Remarkably, without relying on quantum repeaters, the VBG can provide a ground-based, low-loss, high-bandwidth quantum channel that enables novel distributed quantum information applications for computing, communication, and sensing.

description: Entrepreneurship culture, knowledge spillovers and the growth of regions. Regional Studies. An extensive literature has emerged in regional studies linking organization-based measures of entrepreneurship (e.g., self-employment, new start-ups) to regional economic performance. A limitation of the extant literature is that the measurement of entrepreneurship is not able to incorporate broader conceptual views, such as behaviour, of what actually constitutes entrepreneurship. This paper fills this gap by linking the underlying and also more fundamental and encompassing entrepreneurship culture of regions to regional economic performance. The empirical evidence suggests that those regions exhibiting higher levels of entrepreneurship culture tend to have higher employment growth. Robustness checks using causal methods confirm this finding.

description: Production of output and ideas: efficiency and growth patterns in the United States. Regional Studies. This paper examines efficiency and growth patterns in the production of output and ideas in the United States. It employs frontier techniques and jointly estimates the production of output and the production of ideas. We find states to be particularly efficient in the use of their inputs in the production of output process, whereas there is more waste in the use of innovation resources to produce new knowledge. The results do not lend support to the common perception that richer (more innovative) states are more efficient than less rich (less innovative) states for every dollar spent.

description: In order to evaluate the ecological hazard of 4-tert-butylphenol (4-TBP), species abundances and physicochemical properties were monitored for 63 days in a microcosm system containing planktonic algae, rotifers, shrimps and Daphnia. The 63 days-NOEC (no observed effect concentration) of 4-TBP for this system was calculated. At the same time, species sensitivity distribution curves were constructed based on the toxicity data of EC10, EC50 and NOEC derived from laboratory single-species toxicity tests, which further gives no obvious hazard concentrations for 95% species in the ecosystem (HC5). In both the microcosm and the single-species tests, the shrimp (Neocaridina sp.) was the most sensitive species to 4-TBP exposure, while most algae species were relatively insensitive compared to the zooplankton. For the microcosm exposed to 4-TBP, significant changes occurred to the community structure instead of the community function, resulting in a NOECmicrocosm of 265.38 μg L–1 which approached the EC10-based HC5 (0.376 mg L–1). Nevertheless, EC50-based HC5 was higher than the NOECmicrocosm, and the NOEC-based HC5 was lower. The data showed that the EC10-based HC5 was protective at the similar level with the result of microcosm for 4-TBP, providing supportive data for chemical risk assessment.

description: Revealing the essence of dark matter (DM) and dark energy is essential for understanding our universe. Ultralight (rest energy $<$10 eV) bosonic particles, including pseudoscalar axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) have emerged among leading candidates to explain the composition of DM and searching for them has become an important part of precision-measurement science. Ultrahigh-sensitivity alkali-noble-gas based comagnetometers and magnetometers are being used as powerful haloscopes, i.e., devices designed to search for DM present in the galactic halo. A broad variety of such devices include clock-comparison comagnetometers, self-compensating comagnetometers, hybrid-spin-resonance magnetometer, spin-exchange-relaxation-free magnetometers, nuclear magnetic-resonance magnetometers, Floquet magnetometers, masers, as well as devices like the cosmic axion spin-precession experiment (CASPEr) using liquid $^{129}$Xe, prepolarized via spin-exchange optical pumping with rubidium atoms. The combination of alkali metal and noble gas allows one to take the best advantage of the complementary properties of the two spin systems. This review summarizes the operational principles, experimental setups and the successful explorations of new physics using these haloscopes. Additionally, some limiting factors are pointed out for further improvement.

description: Allergic rhinitis (AR) with or without conjunctivitis (AR/C) is associated with a significant health and economic burden, and is often accompanied by asthma. Pharmacotherapies are the mainstay treatment options for AR and asthma, but guidelines also recommend allergy immunotherapy (AIT). Unlike pharmacotherapies, AIT has the ability to modify the underlying immunologic mechanisms of AR and asthma with the potential for long-term benefits after treatment is discontinued. Immunotherapy may also prevent progression of AR/C to asthma. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)-tablets are a self-administered alternative to subcutaneous immunotherapy that provide the benefits of AIT without the cost and inconvenience of frequent office visits or the discomfort of injections. SLIT-tablets are also an option that can be utilized by primary care clinicians. Pharmacotherapies are generally effective in mild disease although a number of patients remain uncontrolled. SLIT-tablets have proven efficacy for AR in adults, children, and poly-sensitized allergic patients. Indirect comparisons indicate that SLIT-tablets have superior or comparable efficacy compared with traditional pharmacotherapies for seasonal AR, and superior efficacy for perennial AR. House dust mite (HDM) SLIT-tablets have also demonstrated clinically relevant benefits for asthma, with significant observed reductions in daily inhaled corticosteroid use, risk of asthma exacerbations, and asthma symptoms. SLIT-tablets are well tolerated, with minimal risk of systemic allergic reactions. The most common treatment-related adverse events are oral site reactions such as oral pruritus and throat irritation. Based on the favorable efficacy and safety profile, as well as the convenience of at-home oral administration and disease-modifying effects, SLIT-tablets should be considered as an alternative or add-on treatment to pharmacotherapy for AR with or without conjunctivitis, and as an add-on treatment for HDM allergic asthma.
Inductive Link Prediction in Knowledge Graphs using Path-based Neural Networks

description: Link prediction is a crucial research area in knowledge graphs, with many downstream applications. In many real-world scenarios, inductive link prediction is required, where predictions have to be made among unseen entities. Embedding-based models usually need fine-tuning on new entity embeddings, and hence are difficult to be directly applied to inductive link prediction tasks. Logical rules captured by rule-based models can be directly applied to new entities with the same graph typologies, but the captured rules are discrete and usually lack generosity. Graph neural networks (GNNs) can generalize topological information to new graphs taking advantage of deep neural networks, which however may still need fine-tuning on new entity embeddings. In this paper, we propose SiaILP, a path-based model for inductive link prediction using siamese neural networks. Our model only depends on relation and path embeddings, which can be generalized to new entities without fine-tuning. Experiments show that our model achieves several new state-of-the-art performances in link prediction tasks using inductive versions of WN18RR, FB15k-237, and Nell995. Our code is available at \url{https://github.com/canlinzhang/SiaILP}.

description: Phenotypic plasticity, if adaptive, may allow species to counter the detrimental effects of extreme conditions, but the infrequent occurrence of extreme environments and/or their restriction to low-quality habitats within a species range means that they exert little direct selection on reaction norms. Plasticity could, therefore, be maladaptive under extreme environments, unless genetic correlations are strong between extreme and non-extreme environmental states, and the optimum phenotype changes smoothly with the environment. Empirical evidence suggests that populations and species from more variable environments show higher levels of plasticity that might preadapt them to extremes, but genetic variance for plastic responses can also be low, and genetic variation may not be expressed for some classes of traits under extreme conditions. Much of the empirical literature on plastic responses to extremes has not yet been linked to ecologically relevant conditions, such as asymmetrical fluctuations in the case of temperature extremes. Nevertheless, evolved plastic responses are likely to be important for natural and agricultural species increasingly exposed to climate extremes, and there is an urgent need to collect empirical information and link this to model predictions.This article is part of the themed issue ‘Behavioural, ecological and evolutionary responses to extreme climatic events'.

description: Evidences of ultraviolet visible spectra of hydrogen sulfide scavenging trans-crotonaldehyde (TCA) induced by hydrogen peroxide through mitochondria were probed for the first time. TCA was induced by hydrogen peroxide through mitochondria. When sodium hydrosulfide as hydrogen sulfide donor, comparison with control, ultraviolet visible spectra of TCA decrease were clear. Hydrogen sulfide released by garlic was detected by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy. When garlic as hydrogen sulfide donors, the ultraviolet visible spectra of TCA decrease were very obvious. The findings are strongly recommended that garlic as safe, stable, and controllable hydrogen sulfide donor become a promising drug which is worthy of further study.

description: Improved understanding of geographical variation and inequity in health status, wealth and access to resources within countries is increasingly being recognized as central to meeting development goals. Development and health indicators assessed at national or subnational scale can often conceal important inequities, with the rural poor often least well represented. The ability to target limited resources is fundamental, especially in an international context where funding for health and development comes under pressure. This has recently prompted the exploration of the potential of spatial interpolation methods based on geolocated clusters from national household survey data for the high-resolution mapping of features such as population age structures, vaccination coverage and access to sanitation. It remains unclear, however, how predictable these different factors are across different settings, variables and between demographic groups. Here we test the accuracy of spatial interpolation methods in producing gender-disaggregated high-resolution maps of the rates of literacy, stunting and the use of modern contraceptive methods from the combination of geolocated Demographic and Health Surveys cluster data and geospatial covariates. Bayesian geostatistical and machine learning modelling methods were tested across four low-income countries and varying gridded environmental and socio-economic covariate datasets to build 1×1 km spatial resolution maps with uncertainty estimates. Results show the potential of the approach in producing high-resolution maps of key gender-disaggregated socio-economic indicators, with explained variance through cross-validation being as high as 74–75% for female literacy in Nigeria and Kenya, and in the 50–70% range for many other variables. However, substantial variations by both country and variable were seen, with many variables showing poor mapping accuracies in the range of 2–30% explained variance using both geostatistical and machine learning approaches. The analyses offer a robust basis for the construction of timely maps with levels of detail that support geographically stratified decision-making and the monitoring of progress towards development goals. However, the great variability in results between countries and variables highlights the challenges in applying these interpolation methods universally across multiple countries, and the importance of validation and quantifying uncertainty if this is undertaken.

description: The metal oxide nanoparticles (MeONPs) due to their unique physico-chemical properties have widely been used in different products. Current studies have established toxicity of some NPs to human and environment, hence, imply for their comprehensive safety assessment. Here, the potential of using a multi-target QSTR modeling for simultaneous prediction of multiple toxicity endpoints of various MeONPs has been investigated. A multi-target QSTR model has been established using four different experimental toxicity data sets of MeONPs. Diversity of the considered experimental toxicity data sets was tested using the Kruskal–Wallis (K–W) statistics. The optimal validated model yielded high correlations (R2 between 0.828 and 0.956) between the experimental and simultaneously predicted endpoint toxicity values in test arrays for all the four systems. The structural features (oxygen percent, LogS, and Mulliken’s electronegativity) identified by the QSTR model were mechanistically interpretable in view of the accepted toxicity mechanisms for NPs. Single target QSTR models were also established (R2Test >0.882) for individual toxicity endpoint prediction of MeONPs. The performance of the multi-target QSTR model was closely comparable with individual models and with those reported earlier in the literature for toxicity prediction of NPs. The model reliably predicts the toxicity of all considered MeONPs, and the methodology is expected to provide guidance for the future design of safe NP-based products. The proposed multi-target QSTR can be successfully used for screening new, untested metal oxide NPs for their safety assessment within the defined applicability domain of the model.

description: This article deals with improving and evaluating the performance of two evolutionary algorithm approaches for automated engineering design optimization. Here a marine propeller design with constraints on cavitation nuisance is the intended application. For this purpose, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is adapted for multi-objective optimization and constraint handling for use in propeller design. Three PSO algorithms are developed and tested for the optimization of four commercial propeller designs for different ship types. The results are evaluated by interrogating the generation medians and the Pareto front development. The same propellers are also optimized utilizing the well established NSGA-II genetic algorithm to provide benchmark results. The authors' PSO algorithms deliver comparable results to NSGA-II, but converge earlier and enhance the solution in terms of constraints violation.

description: This article introduces an optimization framework for the integrated design of a planetary surface rover and its exploration route that is applicable to the initial phase of a planetary exploration campaign composed of multiple surface missions. The scientific capability and the mobility of a rover are modelled as functions of the science weight fraction, a key parameter characterizing the rover. The proposed problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear program that maximizes the sum of profits obtained through a planetary surface exploration mission by simultaneously determining the science weight fraction of the rover, the sites to visit and their visiting sequences under resource consumption constraints imposed on each route and collectively on a mission. A solution procedure for the proposed problem composed of two loops (the outer loop and the inner loop) is developed. The results of test cases demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed framework are presented.

description: Vein-type, structurally controlled Cu–Au mineralisation hosted by turbidites of late Silurian to earliest Devonian age, forms an important resource close to the eastern margin of the Cobar Basin. Here we report 103 new sulfur isotope analyses, together with homogenisation temperatures and salinity data for 545 primary two-phase fluid inclusions for the mineralised zones from the central area of the Cobar mining district. A range in δ34S values from 3.8 to 11.2‰ (average 7.9‰) is present. Sulfur is likely to have been derived from rock sulfur/sulfide in basin and basement rocks, but there may be an additional connate-derived component. Homogenisation temperatures (Th) for inclusion fluids trapped in quartz and minor calcite veins range from near 150°C to 397°C. Fluid inclusions are characterised by a low CO2 content and low, but variable salinities (2.1–9.1 wt% NaCl equivalent). Generations of inclusion fluids correspond to six paragenetic stages of vein quartz deposition and recrystallisation at the Chesney mine. Primary fluid inclusions in the first two stages were subjected to re-equilibration resulting from increased confining pressure. Their Th range (151–317°C) is considered a minimum for the temperature of these fluids. Sulfide and gold deposition at Chesney appears to be related to fluids of moderately high Th (range 270–397°C) associated with the final paragenetic stage. Th for the ore-related fluids may be close to the solvus of the H2O–NaCl–CO2 system and hence near trapping temperatures. Late-stage entry of a hot, moderately saline ore-forming fluid is implicated as the origin of the Cu–Au mineralisation. However, comparison with geochemical data for the vein-style Zn–Pb–Ag deposits at Cobar demonstrates that differences in metal content for individual zones cannot be attributed to major differences in fluid temperature or salinity. Rather, these differences are probably due to variations in source-rock reservoirs and structural pathways along which the ore-forming fluids moved.

description: Content determination of Ganoderic Acid A by HPLC spectrophotometry and reproducibility test (n = 3). The content of ganoderic acid A was analysed by HPLC according to the method in the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Therapeutic Compendium (Edition 2011). The HPLC conditions were as follows: A chromatographic column of Promosil C18 (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) was used, with the mobile phase consisting of 0.1% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile by gradient elution (0–15 min, 20–42%, 15–30 min, 42–60%; 30–35 min, 60%), 1 mL/min flow rate, and 254 nm detection wavelength. HPLC results showed that the content of ganoderic acid A was 1.04‰ (RSD < 5%). RSD:Relative standard deviation. (DOCX 12 kb)

description: The importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers and its role in scientific and technological progress, for economic development in the region, promoted the interest of technological dissemination sessions aimed at prospective students at the Polytechnic University of Baja California in the city of Mexicali, Baja California. A group of 2,154 students from 20 different institutions of public high school education answered a survey designed as an evaluation tool for a career path or technology area of interest. The survey results show that students have a low preference for STEM careers. Moreover, these results were augmented with an additional study on the academic interest of students by gender in the city of Mexicali, Baja California, also conducted by the authors. It raises the importance of teaching science in the early education levels, which aims to prepare scientists and technologists needed for the development of research and innovation as a foundation for economic prosperity and welfare of an emerging economy such as Mexico.
