description: Amodiaquine has been used widely as an antimalarial drug. Amodiaquine is a mannich base 4-amino quinolone with a mode of action similar to that of chloroquine. The inclusion complex of amodiaquine with 2-(hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin in solution phase is studied from the ground and excited state with absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques, respectively. A binding constant and stoichiometric ratio between amodiaquine and 2-(hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin are calculated by the use of Benesi–Hildebrand equation. The solid complexes are prepared by physical, kneading and coprecipitation methods. The solid complexes are characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectral analysis, Differential scanning calorimetric curves and powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The anticancer activity was tested for pure amodiaquine and their complex with 2-(hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin against MDA MB 231 cell line. It clearly showed that a significant improvement of anticancer activity of amodiaquine when forming a complex with 2-(hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin.

description: Until now, Schrödinger's cat states are generated by subtracting single photons from the whole bandwidth of squeezed vacua. However, it was pointed out recently that the achievable purities are limited in such method (J. Yoshikawa, W. Asavanant, and A. Furusawa, arXiv:1707.08146 [quant-ph] (2017)). In this paper, we used our new photon subtraction method with a narrowband filtering cavity and generated a highly pure Schrödinger's cat state with the value of $-0.184$ at the origin of the Wigner function. To our knowledge, this is the highest value ever reported without any loss corrections. The temporal mode also becomes exponentially rising in our method, which allows us to make a real-time quadrature measurement on Schrödinger's cat states, and we obtained the value of $-0.162$ at the origin of the Wigner function.

description: The combination of elliptical deformation of streamlines and vorticity can lead to the destabilisation of any rotating flow via the elliptical instability. Such a mechanism has been invoked as a possible source of turbulence in planetary cores subject to tidal deformations. The saturation of the elliptical instability has been shown to generate turbulence composed of non-linearly interacting waves and strong columnar vortices with varying respective amplitudes, depending on the control parameters and geometry. In this paper, we present a suite of numerical simulations to investigate the saturation and the transition from vortex-dominated to wave-dominated regimes. This is achieved by simulating the growth and saturation of the elliptical instability in an idealised triply periodic domain, adding a frictional damping to the geostrophic component only, to mimic its interaction with boundaries. We reproduce several experimental observations within one idealised local model and complement them by reaching more extreme flow parameters. In particular, a wave-dominated regime that exhibits many signatures of inertial wave turbulence is characterised for the first time. This regime is expected in planetary interiors.

Fe XIII emission lines in active region spectra obtained with the Solar Extreme-Ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph

description: Recent fully relativistic calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross sections for Fe {\sc xiii} are used to generate emission-line ratios involving 3s$^{2}$3p$^{2}$--3s3p$^{3}$ and 3s$^{2}$3p$^{2}$--3s$^{2}$3p3d transitions in the 170--225 Åand 235--450 Åwavelength ranges covered by the Solar Extreme-Ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS). A comparison of these line ratios with SERTS active region observations from rocket flights in 1989 and 1995 reveals generally very good agreement between theory and experiment. Several new Fe {\sc xiii} emission features are identified, at wavelengths of 203.79, 259.94, 288.56 and 290.81 Å. However, major discrepancies between theory and observation remain for several Fe {\sc xiii} transitions, as previously found by Landi (2002) and others, which cannot be explained by blending. Errors in the adopted atomic data appear to be the most likely explanation, in particular for transitions which have 3s$^{2}$3p3d $^{1}$D$_{2}$ as their upper level. The most useful Fe {\sc xiii} electron density diagnostics in the SERTS spectral regions are assessed, in terms of the line pairs involved being (i) apparently free of atomic physics problems and blends, (ii) close in wavelength to reduce the effects of possible errors in the instrumental intensity calibration, and (iii) very sensitive to changes in N$_{e}$ over the range 10$^{8}$--10$^{11}$ cm$^{-3}$. It is concluded that the ratios which best satisfy these conditions are 200.03/202.04 and 203.17/202.04 for the 170--225 Åwavelength region, and 348.18/320.80, 348.18/368.16, 359.64/348.18 and 359.83/368.16 for 235--450 Å.

A number of techniques have been employed for these purposes, including constraint satisfaction, synthesis by analogy, prototype refinement and search in a space of designs; the last of these is the subject of this paper. Two formalisms for search in a geometric design space, structure grammars and solid grammars, are introduced."

description: My background is working class, my father worked in a glass factory and his employment was considered essential, otherwise he would have enlisted in the Royal Navy. My mother cleaned houses to earn extra money.My fascinating story regards the delivery of eggs to our house during the war. A local chicken farmer presumably was selling extra eggs illegally and only when it was dark, his method of communicating with his customers was to use his fingernails against the glass in the door to announce his arrival. I assume that would have allowed my parents to indicate that it was safe for him to continue with the sale and that other members of the public weren't on the property to report his illegal activity.

description: We describe studies on the nanoscale transport dynamics of carriers in strained AlN/GaN/AlN quantum wells: an electron-hole bilayer charge system with large difference in transport properties between the two charge layers. From electronic band diagram analysis, the presence of spatially separated two-dimensional electron and hole charge layers is predicted at opposite interfaces. Since these charge layers exhibit distinct spectral signatures at terahertz frequencies, a combination of terahertz and far-infrared spectroscopy enables us to extract (a) individual contributions to the total conductivity, as well as (b) effective scattering rates for charge-carriers in each layer. Furthermore, by comparing direct-current and terahertz extracted conductivity levels, we are able to determine the extent to which structural defects affect charge transport. Our results evidence that (i) a non-unity Hall-factor and (ii) the considerable contribution of holes to the overall conductivity, lead to a lower apparent mobility in Hall-effect measurements. Overall, our work demonstrates that terahertz spectroscopy is a suitable technique for the study of bilayer charge systems with large differences in transport properties between layers, such as quantum wells in III-Nitride semiconductors.

description: Abstract: "This proposal introduces boundary solid grammars, a formalism for generating complex models of rigid solid objects. Solids are represented by their boundary elements, i.e. vertices, edges and facts, with coordinate geometry associated with the vertices. Labels may be associated with any of these elements. Rules match conditions of a solid or collection of solids and may modify them or create additional solids. A boundary solid grammar uses an initial solid and a set of rules to produce a language of solid models. Unary operations are introduced to ensure the validity of the boundary representations.These operations take models that may have self-intersections, interpret the models considering the given geometry and face orientations, and produce valid models. The unary operations allow the use of boolean operations together with Euler, sweeping, tweaking and gluing operations in a unified, valid scheme. The proposed formalism has been implemented. Grammars have been demonstrated that generate simple geometric forms including snowflakes, recursive octahedrons, 'fractal' mountains, and spirals. Queen Anne houses have been characterized in a more extensive grammar."

description: We developed a novel perturbative expansion based on the replica trick for the Floquet Hamiltonian governing the dynamics of periodically kicked systems where the kick strength is the small parameter. The expansion is formally equivalent to an infinite resummation of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series in the un-driven (non-perturbed) Hamiltonian, while considering terms up to a finite order in the kick strength. As an application of the replica expansion, we analyze an Ising spin 1/2 chain periodically kicked with magnetic field of strength $h$, which has both longitudinal and transverse components. We demonstrate that even away from the regime of high frequency driving, the heating rate is nonperturbative in the kick strength bounded from above by a stretched exponential: $e^{-{\rm const}\,h^{-1/2}}$. This guarantees existence of a very long pre-thermal regime, where the dynamics is governed by the Floquet Hamiltonian obtained from the replica expansion.

description: I inherited a thousand letters that my parents wrote to each other during the war and have written these, along with diaries and may other documents, unique photographs and other artifacts, into their biography. Wartime biographies are often about famous leaders but this is the story of Len Lally, an ordinary soldier, and Gladys, the wife he left behind. Their story gives a day-by-day account of military ups and downs and dangers. Wider research has added information from men with Len during different phases of the war and from Squadron diaries. Gladys' letters show her fear of the bombing, problems of rationing and day to day life at home. They may have been two ordinary people but this detail brings colour to their lives in a fascinating way.Len joined the Royal Signals in April 1939, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was seconded to an RAF Squadron as part of the British Expeditionary Force. He escaped under the noses of the enemy, via Boulogne six days before Dunkirk. He was in Normandy on D Day + 2 and the letters detail his journey across northern Europe to Belgium, Holland and into Germany. He was one of the communications team at Luneburg Heath and witnessed the German surrender. He was then with the first British group into Russian Occupied Germany in June 1945, helping to run the communications for the Potsdam Conference and he tells of life with the Russians in a shattered Berlin. He finished the war in Posen, where German U Boat crews and the SS had been trained, and in Hamburg. This detail fascinates, as does Len's pouring out of his day-to-day ambitions, boredom, excitement and frustration at not being in control of his family at home.Uniquely, the story also details the life of Gladys, his unwell, nervous and lonely wife, left behind in London during the blitz. They were married by special licence in February 1940. She was a Switchboard Supervisor for Wimpey's, the construction company, who fought off her call-up because she was a vital part of their business. Her letters tell of her work, shopping, shortages, hospitals, entertainment, strained relationships and the unexpected birth of her first child.Through this story you can see into the private lives of ordinary people. How would you have coped in their situation?

description: We devise and evaluate numerically Hybrid High-Order (HHO) methods for hyperelastic materials undergoing finite deformations. The HHO methods use as discrete unknowns piecewise polynomials of order $k\ge1$ on the mesh skeleton, together with cell-based polynomials that can be eliminated locally by static condensation. The discrete problem is written as the minimization of the broken nonlinear elastic energy where a local reconstruction of the displacement gradient is used. Two HHO methods are considered: a stabilized method where the gradient is reconstructed as a tensor-valued polynomial of order $k$ and a stabilization is added to the discrete energy functional, and an unstabilized method which reconstructs a stable higher-order gradient and circumvents the need for stabilization. Both methods satisfy the principle of virtual work locally with equilibrated tractions. We present a numerical study of both HHO methods on test cases with known solution and on more challenging three-dimensional test cases including finite deformations with strong shear layers and cavitating voids. We assess the computational efficiency of both methods, and we compare our results to those obtained with an industrial software using conforming finite elements and to results from the literature. Both methods exhibit robust behavior in the quasi-incompressible regime.

description: Identification of kinetic and thermodynamic factors that control crystal nucleation and growth represents a central challenge in materials synthesis. Here we report that apparently defect-free growth of La$_2$MnNiO$_6$ (LMNO) thin films supported on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) proceeds up to $1-5$ nm, after which it is disrupted by precipitation of NiO phases. Local geometric phase analysis and ensemble-averaged X-ray reciprocal space mapping show no change in the film strain away from the interface, indicating that mechanisms other than strain relaxation induce the formation of the NiO phases. $Ab \, initio$ simulations suggest that oxygen vacancies become more likely with increasing thickness, due to the electrostatic potential build-up associated with the polarity mismatch at the film-substrate interface, this, in turn, promotes the formation of Ni-rich regions. These results suggest that the precipitate-free region could be extended further by increasing the oxygen chemical potential through the use of an elevated oxygen pressure or by incorporating electron redistributing dopants to suppress the built-in potential.

From Object to Installation in Bruno Taut’s Exhibit Pavilions

description: This paper, part of a JAE special issue on "Installations by Architects," investigates the artistic and philosophical origins of Bruno Taut’s Glashaus (1914) exhibit pavilion in order to reinterpret the famous building as an experimental, free-standing “installation” that rose above being merely a pragmatic exhibition space. In close collaboration with the critic Adolf Behne and the Expressionist poet Paul Scheerbart, Taut designed a three dimensional manifesto for a utopian “glass architecture” that sought to express “a higher passion to build.” Both the collaborative construction process he envisioned and the radical new experiences inside were intended as vehicles to greater cultural, social, and even political change on the eve of World War I.
Improved torque formula for low and intermediate mass planetary migration

description: The migration of planets on nearly circular, non-inclined orbits in protoplanetary discs is entirely described by the disc's torque. This torque is a complex function of the disc parameters, and essentially amounts to the sum of two components: the Lindblad torque and the corotation torque. Known torque formulae do not reproduce accurately the torque actually experienced in numerical simulations by low- and intermediate- mass planets in radiative discs. One of the main reasons for this inaccuracy is that these formulae have been worked out in two-dimensional analyses. Here we revisit the torque formula and update many of its dimensionless coefficients by means of tailored, three- dimensional numerical simulations. In particular, we derive the dependence of the Lindblad torque on the temperature gradient, the dependence of the corotation torque on the radial entropy gradient (and work out a suitable expression of this gradient in a three-dimensional disc). We also work out the dependence of the corotation torque on the radial temperature gradient, overlooked so far. Corotation torques are known to scale very steeply with the width of the horseshoe region. We extend the expression of this width to the domain of intermediate mass planets, so that our updated torque formula remains valid for planets up to typically several tens of Earth masses, provided these relatively massive planets do not significantly deplete their coorbital region. Our torque expression can be applied to low- and intermediate-mass planets in optically thick protoplanetary discs, as well as protomoons embedded in circumplanetary discs.

description: We present observations of GRB 060124, the first event for which both the prompt and the afterglow emission could be observed simultaneously and in their entirety by the three Swift instruments and by Konus-Wind. Thanks to these exceptional circumstances, the temporal and spectral properties of the prompt emission could be studied in the optical, X-ray and gamma-ray ranges (up to 2 MeV). While the X-ray emission (0.2-10 keV) clearly tracks the gamma-ray burst, the optical component follows a different pattern, likely indicating a different origin, possibly the onset of external shocks. The prompt GRB spectrum shows significant spectral evolution, with both the peak energy and the spectral index varying. As observed in several long GRBs, significant lags are measured between the hard- and low-energy components, showing that this behaviour extends over 3 decades in energy. The GRB peaks are also much broader at soft energies. This is related to the temporal evolution of the spectrum, and can be accounted for by the softening of the electron spectral index with time. The burst energy (E_iso~5x10^{53} erg at z=2.297) and average peak energy (E_p~300 keV) make GRB 060124 consistent with the Amati relation. The X-ray afterglow is characterized by a decay which presents a break at t_b~10^5s.

description: We present studies of the magnetic domain structure of UMn$_2$Ge$_2$ single crystals using a home-built low temperature magnetic force microscope. The material has two distinct magnetic ordering temperatures, originating from the Mn and U moments. At room temperature, where the Mn moments dominate, there are flower-like domain patterns similar to those observed in uniaxial ferromagnets. After exposing the sample to a one-tesla magnetic field near 40 K, the evolution of the magnetic domains are imaged through zero-field warming up to 200 K. Near the ordering temperature of the uranium moments a clear change in the domain wall motion is observed. The domain size analysis of the flower-like pattern reveals that the domain structure is consistent with a model of branching domains.

description: We investigate the twist-3 pion and kaon distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar (phi^p_{pi,K}) and pseudotensor (phi^{sigma}_{pi,K}) types, based on the effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum. Effects of flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking are explicitly taken into account. The Gegenbauer moments and the moments of the distribution amplitudes () are also computed. Our results are summarized as follows: a^p_{2,pi} ~ 0.4, a^p_{1,K} ~ 0.02 and a^p_{2,K} ~ 0.14, and a^{sigma}_{2,pi} ~ 0.02 and a^{sigma}_{1,K} ~ a^{sigma}_{2,K} ~ 0; ^p_π ~ ^p_K ~ 0.37 and ^p_K ~ 0, and ^{sigma}_{pi} ~ ^{sigma}_K ~ 0.20 and ^{sigma}_K ~ 0. We compare our results with those from the QCD sum rules. We also discuss the relevant Wilson coefficients which were analyzed recently in chiral perturbation theory.

H.E.S.S. observations of the supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622: shell-type morphology and spectrum of a widely extended VHE gamma-ray source

description: The shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 was observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) of Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes between December 2004 and May 2005 for a total observation time of 33 hours, above an average gamma-ray energy threshold of 250 GeV. The angular resolution of ~0.06 degree (for events triggering 3 or 4 telescopes) and the large field of view of H.E.S.S. ($5^{\circ}$ diameter) are well adapted to studying the morphology of the object in very high energy gamma-rays, which exhibits a remarkably thin shell very similar to the features observed in the radio range and in X-rays. The spectral analysis of the source from 300 GeV to 20 TeV is also presented. Finally, the possible origins of the very high energy gamma-ray emission (Inverse Compton scattering by electrons or the decay of neutral pions produced by proton interactions) are discussed, on the basis of morphological and spectral features obtained at different wavelengths.

description: The realization of high-performance, small-footprint, on-chip inductors remains a challenge in radio-frequency and power microelectronics, where they perform vital energy transduction in filters and power converters. Modern planar inductors consist of metallic spirals that consume significant chip area, resulting in low inductance densities. We present a novel method for magnetic energy transduction that utilizes ferromagnetic islands (FIs) on the surface of a 3D time-reversal-invariant topological insulator (TI) to produce paradigmatically different inductors. Depending on the chemical potential, the FIs induce either an anomalous or quantum anomalous Hall effect in the topological surface states. These Hall effects direct current around the FIs, concentrating magnetic flux and producing a highly inductive device. Using a novel self-consistent simulation that couples AC non-equilibrium Green functions to fully electrodynamic solutions of Maxwell's equations, we demonstrate excellent inductance densities up to terahertz frequencies, thus harnessing the unique properties of topological materials for practical device applications.
