description: We introduce the concept of an electromagnetotoroid in astrophysics, and explore its role in polar jets. This model represents the onset of Abraham's force driven by some external source, for example, the infall of gas towards a star. The Abraham's force term is analogous to the Magnus force, and thus represents the formation of electromagnetic vortex structures in the fabric of space-time. In principle, the proposed toroidal field structure can also provide force spaceship propulsion.

description: We construct families of ordinary and gap solitons (GSs), including solitary vortices, in the two-dimensional (2D) system based on the nonlinear-SchrÄodinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equation with the 2D or quasi-1D (Q1D) periodic linear potential, combined with the periodic modulation of the cubic nonlinearity (also in the 2D or Q1D form), which is, generally, incommensurate with the linear potential, thus forming a \nonlinear quasicrystal". Stable vortices are built as complexes of four peaks with the separation between them equal to the double period of the linear potential. The system may be realized in photonic crystals or Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The variational approximation (VA) is applied to ordinary solitons (residing in the semi-infinite gap), and numerical methods are used to construct solitons of all the types. Stability regions are identified for soliton families in all the versions of the model.

description: Résumé

Problématique : La prévalence du pontage aortocoronaire est en progression dans le monde et en Tunisie. Peu d’études ont traité les facteurs déterminant de son évolution chez le diabétique de type 2.

But du travail : Etablir les caractéristiques épidémiologiques d’une population de diabétiques de type 2 ayant bénéficié d’un pontage aortocoronaire puis analyser au sein de la même population l’évolution postopératoire et ses facteurs pronostiques.

Méthodes : Etude rétrospective ayant inclus 30 patients hospitalisés dans le service d’Endocrinologie de l’Hôpital La Rabta entre Janvier 2003 et Janvier 2009. L’analyse a été faite en deux étapes : nous avons déterminé les caractéristiques diabétologiques et cardiovasculaires de la population d’étude puis nous l’avons subdivisée en deux sous-groupes selon l’évolution postopératoire de l’épreuve d’effort et celle de la fraction d’éjection du ventricule gauche.

Résultats : La moyenne d’âge des patients était de 66,9±7 années, le sex-ratio était de 1,3. La fréquence d’un indice de masse corporelle supérieur à 25kg/m² était de 83,3%, celle de l’hypertension artérielle était de 90% et celle de la dyslipidémie était de 80 %. L’ancienneté moyenne du diabète était de 13,08 années. La dose moyenne d’insuline prescrite était de 0,52 UI/kg/24h. L’hémoglobine glyquée moyenne était de 10,28%, la glycémie à jeun moyenne était de 2g/L. L’atteinte coronaire était plus fréquemment tritronculaire (50%). Le pontage a intéressé plus souvent l’interventriculaire antérieure (70%). La fraction d’éjection du ventricule gauche postopératoire était de 52,92% et 26,6% des patients ont altéré leur fonction systolique du ventricule gauche après pontage coronaire. La fréquence de la prise de statines était de 60 % et celles de la prescription des bétabloquants et des inhibiteurs de l’enzyme de conversion étaient de 63%. Les facteurs corrélés à l’altération de la fraction d’éjection systolique du ventricule gauche après pontage coronaire étaient la dysfonction systolique ventriculaire gauche, l’ancienneté de l’hypertension artérielle et la présence d’une rétinopathie diabétique.

Conclusion : La surveillance régulière de l’équilibre glycémique du diabétique ponté ainsi que de la fraction d’éjection systolique du ventricule gauche s’impose après le pontage coronaire. Les facteurs socio-économiques sont importants dans l’accès aux statines et l’adhésion aux règles hygiéno-diététiques.

description: Introduction: Gap junctions play an important role in the cell proliferation in mammalian cells as well as carcinogenesis. However, there are controversial issues about their role in cancer pathogenesis. This study was designed to evaluate genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of Carbenoxolone (CBX) as a prototype of inter-cellular gap junction blocker in MCF7 and BT20 human breast cancer cells. Methods: The MCF7and BT20 human breast cancer cell lines were cultivated, and treated at designated confluency with different doses of CBX. Cellular cytotoxicity was examined using standard colorimetric assay associated with cell viability tests. Gene expression evaluation was carried out using real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: MCF7 and BT20 cells were significantly affected by CBX in a dose dependent manner in cell viability assays. Despite varying expression of genes, down regulation of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes was observed in these cells. Conclusion: Based upon this investigation, it can be concluded that CBX could affect both low and high proliferative types of breast cancer cell lines and disproportionate down regulation of both pre- and anti-apoptotic genes may be related to interacting biomolecules, perhaps via gap junctions.

description: Recent studies on root traits have shown that there are two axes explaining trait variation belowground: the collaboration axis with mycorrhizal partners and the conservation (‘fast – slow’) axis. However, it is yet unknown whether these trait axes affect the assembly of soilborne fungi. We expect saprotrophic fungi to link to the conservation axis of root traits, whereas pathogenic and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi link to the collaboration axis, but in opposite directions, as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi might provide pathogen protection. To test these hypotheses, we sequenced rhizosphere fungal communities and measured root traits in monocultures of 25 grassland plant species, differing in age. Within the fungal guilds, we evaluated fungal species richness, relative abundance and community composition. Contrary to our hypotheses, fungal diversity and relative abundance were not strongly related to the root trait axes. However, saprotrophic fungal community composition was affected by the conservation gradient and pathogenic community composition by the collaboration gradient. The rhizosphere AMF community composition did not change along the collaboration gradient, even though the root trait axis was in line with the root mycorrhizal colonization rate. Overall, our results indicate that in the long term, the root trait axes are linked with fungal community composition.

description: We discuss the possible power counting schemes that can be applied in the effective field theory description of heavy meson molecules, such as the X(3872) or the recently discovered Zb(10610) and Zb(10650) states. We argue that the effect of coupled channels is suppressed by at least two orders in the effective field theory expansion, meaning that they can be safely ignored at lowest order. The role of the one pion exchange potential between the heavy mesons, and in particular the tensor force, is also analyzed. By using techniques developed in atomic physics for handling power-law singular potentials, which have been also successfully employed in nuclear physics, we determine the range of center-of-mass momenta for which the tensor piece of the one pion exchange potential is perturbative. In this momentum range, the one pion exchange potential can be considered a subleading order correction, leaving at lowest order a very simple effective field theory consisting only on contact-range interactions.

description: We report Fe K beta x-ray emission spectroscopy study of local magnetic moments in various iron based superconductors in their paramagnetic phases. Local magnetic moments are found in all samples studied: PrFeAsO, Ba(Fe,Co)2As2, LiFeAs, Fe1+x(Te,Se), and A2Fe4Se5 (A=K, Rb, and Cs). The moment size varies significantly across different families. Specifically, all iron pnictides samples have local moments of about 1 $μ_B$/Fe, while FeTe and K2Fe4Se5 families have much larger local moments of ~2$μ_B$/Fe, ~3.3$μ_B$/Fe, respectively. In addition, we find that neither carrier doping nor temperature change affects the local moment size.

title: Relative Hepatotoxocity, Carcinogenicity, and Toxicogenomics of Select Dehydropyrrolizidine Alkaloids in Mice
Creators: name: Clayton, Michael J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: Dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids are arguably the most important plant derived toxins in terms of impact on human and animal health. Dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids are a large group of chemically related compounds found in 3% of flowering plants worldwide. Human exposure occurs from ingestion of herbal products including teas supplements or contaminated grain. Animals are exposed through contaminated feed or grazing. There are at least 350 identified toxic PAs, from more than 6,000 plants. The toxins primarily cause liver damage, but some are proven to cause cancer. Indidvidual dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids vary in their toxic effects. Riddelliine is the only dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloid with extensive evidence of its cancer-causing effects. The purpose of the research presented herein is to characterize and compare the relative toxic and cancer-causing effects of select dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids. In the first experiment, seven compounds are administered to C57BL6/j mice by oral gavage for ten days at varying doses. Microscopic liver damage, liver enzymes, and liver concentrations of the toxic metabolite were compared. There was variation in the characteristics and severity of liver damage between compounds. Liver enzymes indicative of liver damage were observed. Riddelliine caused the greatest concentration of the toxic metabolite in the liver. In the second experiment, five dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids were administered to genetically modified mice for ten days at the same dose. These mice are designed to develop cancer more readily. There was no statistically significant difference in the development of cancer between the mice exposed to any of the five compounds compared to the control group, in. This indicates that short-duration exposure to dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids at high doses may be less likely to cause cancer than long term low-dose exposure. In the third experiment, three dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids were administered to mice at a common dose for 8 days. Whole genome RNA expression was compared for each compound at two time-points. Two of the compounds, riddelliine and senecionine, caused liver damage and similar gene expression changes. The dysregulated genes were related to cancer development and metabolism, indicating that senecionine may also cause cancer. Dysregulated genes tended to return to normal expression levels after 28 days, indicating recovery.

description: CAL83 is a prototype of the class of Super Soft X-ray Sources (SXS). It is a binary consisting of a low mass secondary that is transferring mass onto a white dwarf primary and is the only known SXS surrounded by an ionisation nebula, made up of the interstellar medium (ISM) ionised by the source itself. With the VIMOS IFU we obtained spectra over a 25\times25" field of view, encompassing one quarter of the nebula. Emission line maps - H I, He II, [O III], [N II], and [S II] - are produced in order to study the morphology of the ionised gas. We include CAL83 on diagrams of various diagnostic ion ratios to compare it to other X-ray ionised sources. Finally we computed some simple models of the ionised gas around CAL83 and compare the predicted to the observed spectra. CAL83 appears to have a fairly standard ionisation nebula as far as the morphology goes: the edges where H is recombining are strong in the low stage ionisation lines and the central, clumpy regions are stronger in the higher stage ionisation lines. But the He II emission is unusual in being confined to one side of CAL83 rather than being homogeneously distributed as with the other ions. We model the CAL83 nebula with cloudy using model parameters for SXSs found in the literature. The He II emission does not fit in with model predictions; in fact none of the models is able to fit the observed spectrum very well. The spectral line images of the region surrounding CAL83 are revealing and instructive. However, more modelling of the spectrum of the ionised gas is necessary, and especially for the high-ionisation level emission from CAL83. In particular, we wish to know if the He II emission and the other nebular lines are powered by the same ionising source.

description: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)-based tactile sensors offer cost-effective and scalable solutions for robotic sensing, especially promising for soft robots. However a major issue of EIT-based tactile sensors when applied in highly deformable objects is their performance degradation due to surface deformations. This limitation stems from their inherent sensitivity to strain, which is particularly exacerbated in soft bodies, thus requiring dedicated data interpretation to disentangle the parameter being measured and the signal deriving from shape changes. This has largely limited their practical implementations. This paper presents a machine learning-assisted tactile sensing approach to address this challenge by tracking surface deformations and segregating this contribution in the signal readout during tactile sensing. We first capture the deformations of the target object, followed by tactile reconstruction using a deep learning model specifically designed to process and fuse EIT data and deformation information. Validations using numerical simulations achieved high correlation coefficients (0.9660 - 0.9999), peak signal-to-noise ratios (28.7221 - 55.5264 dB) and low relative image errors (0.0107 - 0.0805). Experimental validations, using a hydrogel-based EIT e-skin under various deformation scenarios, further demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach in real-world settings. The findings could underpin enhanced tactile interaction in soft and highly deformable robotic applications.

description: We have studied the molecular gas in the vicinity of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in three bulge-less spiral galaxies: NGC 1042, NGC 4178, and NGC 4395. The (1-0) and (2-1) transitions of gaseous carbon monoxide (CO) are clearly detected within the central kpc of all three galaxies. In the case of NGC 4395, this constitutes the first reported detection of CO. In general, the CO emission is faint, as may be expected from their less-than-spectacular star formation activity. Interestingly, however, both face-on galaxies in our sample (which allow an unimpeded view of their nucleus) show an elevated intensity ratio CO(2-1)/CO(1-0) when compared to similar late-type spirals without an AGN. We discuss that this is unlikely due to a very compact CO source. Instead, we speculate that even energetically weak AGN can impact the physical state of the surrounding gas. We do not detect any tracers of dense molecular gas such as HCN or HCO+, but the sensitivity of our observations allows us to establish upper limits that lie at the low end of the range observed in more energetic AGN. The derived gas density is less than n(H2)\approx 2e03 cm^-3 which is significantly lower than in most other nearby galaxies. The scarcity of dense gas suggests that the conditions for star formation are poor in these nuclei.

description: Game-theoretical models where the rules of the game and the interaction structure both coevolves with the game dynamics -- multiadaptive games -- capture very flexible situations where cooperation among selfish agents can emerge. In this work, we will discuss a multiadaptive model presented in a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 028702 (2011)], and generalizations of it. The model captures a non-equilibrium situation where social unrest increases the incentive to cooperate and, simultaneously, agents are partly free to influence with whom they interact. First, we investigate the details of how the feedback from the behavior of agents determines the emergence of cooperation and hierarchical contact structures. We also study the stability of the system to different types of noise, and find that different regions of parameter space show very different response. Some types of noise can destroy an all-cooperator state. If, on the other hand, hubs are stable, then so is the all-C state. Finally, we investigate the dependence of the ratio between the timescales of strategy updates and the evolution of the interaction structure. We find that a comparatively fast strategy dynamics is a prerequisite for the emergence of cooperation.

description: In Multi-Source Feedback or 360 Degree Feedback, data on the performance of an individual are collected systematically from a number of stakeholders and are used for improving performance. The 360-Degree Feedback approach provides a consistent management philosophy meeting the criterion outlined previously. The 360-degree feedback appraisal process describes a human resource methodology that is frequently used for both employee appraisal and employee development. Used in employee performance appraisals, the 360-degree feedback methodology is differentiated from traditional, top-down appraisal methods in which the supervisor responsible for the appraisal provides the majority of the data. Instead it seeks to use information gained from other sources to provide a fuller picture of employees' performances. Similarly, when this technique used in employee development it augments employees' perceptions of training needs with those of the people with whom they interact. The 360-degree feedback based appraisal is a comprehensive method where in the feedback about the employee comes from all the sources that come into contact with the employee on his/her job. The respondents for an employee can be her/his peers, managers, subordinates team members, customers, suppliers and vendors. Hence anyone who comes into contact with the employee, the 360 degree appraisal has four components that include self-appraisal, superior's appraisal, subordinate's appraisal student's appraisal and peer's appraisal .The proposed system is an attempt to implement the 360 degree feedback based appraisal system in academics especially engineering colleges.

description: We study an approach to policy selection for large relational Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We consider a variant of approximate policy iteration (API) that replaces the usual value-function learning step with a learning step in policy space. This is advantageous in domains where good policies are easier to represent and learn than the corresponding value functions, which is often the case for the relational MDPs we are interested in. In order to apply API to such problems, we introduce a relational policy language and corresponding learner. In addition, we introduce a new bootstrapping routine for goal-based planning domains, based on random walks. Such bootstrapping is necessary for many large relational MDPs, where reward is extremely sparse, as API is ineffective in such domains when initialized with an uninformed policy. Our experiments show that the resulting system is able to find good policies for a number of classical planning domains and their stochastic variants by solving them as extremely large relational MDPs. The experiments also point to some limitations of our approach, suggesting future work.

description: Introduction: Early palliative care (EPC) has been advocated to improve can- cer patients' health. However, EPC differs with regard to its elements and target groups. It is not known which parts of EPC contribute to effectiveness for which patient group. This scoping review provides a structured analysis of EPC inter- ventions and outcome measures. Design: We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and CENTRAL up to February 2022. We included randomized controlled trials (RCT), nonrandomized trials, cohort studies (CS), and controlled before-after studies of EPC in adult patients in English, Dutch, and German language. Interventions had to be self- labeled as EPC. Screening and data extraction were performed by two raters. A structured analysis incorporating the TIDieR checklist was performed to describe the elements of the interventions. Results: We screened 2651 articles, resulting in 40 articles being included: 34 studies were RCT and six studies were CS with a mean sample size of 208 pa- tients. Patients with pancreatic (n = 10) and lung cancer (n = 9) were most often included. Studies reported different reference points for the onset of EPC such as time after diagnosis of incurable cancer (n = 18) or prognosis (n = 9). Thirteen studies provided information about elements of EPC and eight studies about the control intervention. Most frequent elements of EPC were symptom man- agement (n = 28), case management (n = 16), and advance care planning (ACP; n = 15). Most frequently reported outcome measures were health-related quality of life (n = 26), symptom intensity (n = 6), resource use, and the patient's mood (n = 4 each). Conclusion: The elicited heterogeneity of ECP in combination with deficits of reporting are considerable barriers that should be addressed to further develop effective EPC interventions for different groups of cancer patients.

description: This two-paper dissertation explores factors influencing the attitudes of Grade 5 students who are learning computer science (CS) in schools. It statistically examines the effects of out and in-school factors on students’ attitudes toward computing. The first paper of this dissertation examines the influence of parental support as perceived by the students on their interest and their self-assessed ability to engage in computer programming, thus underscoring the crucial role of parental support on learners’ attitudes. It also investigates how involving families in CS activities by sending a CS-themed board game influences students’ interest. The study finds that perceptions of parental support positively influence students’ interest and their self-assessed ability to engage in computer programming. It also finds that sending CS artifacts home can significantly mediate the influence of parental support on students’ interest in programming. The second paper focuses on developing reliable measurements of students’ perceptions of mathematics and CS-integrated instructional activities. These measures are called exit tickets and are used to collect immediate student responses relating to their experiences after instructional activities. Building on prior research, this paper statistically examines whether students’ exit ticket responses predict self-assessed ability, interest, and identification with CS. Results show that perceived enjoyment reported on exit tickets significantly predicts self-assessed ability, interest, and identification with CS. Perceived ease also significantly predicts self-assessed ability. The remaining correlations between exit ticket measures and post-survey measures are not significant. The findings suggest that student exit tickets are effective tools to gauge engagement and correlate with student attitudes toward computing. Specifically, students who report finding the lesson enjoyable and easy are more likely to express a positive attitude toward programming. This suggests that brief exit ticket surveys could serve as effective indicators of student engagement, potentially replacing longer surveys. Identifying the factors that shape students’ attitudes toward CS provides valuable insights into the design of instructional methods, curricula, and family engagement strategies. Such initiatives can foster a positive attitude among young learners towards CS, significantly contributing to shaping their beliefs and challenging stereotypes associated with computing.

description: The poplar rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina is part of one of the most devastating group of fungi (Pucciniales) and causes important economic losses to the poplar industry. Because M. larici-populina is a heteroecious obligate biotroph, its spread depends on its ability to carry out its reproductive cycle through larch and then poplar parasitism. Genomic approaches have identified more than 1,000 candidate secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) from the predicted secretome of M. larici-populina that are potentially implicated in the infection process. In this study, we selected CSEP pairs (and one triplet) among CSEP gene families that share high sequence homology but display specific gene expression profiles among the two distinct hosts. We determined their subcellular localization by confocal microscopy through expression in the heterologous plant system Nicotiana benthamiana. Five out of nine showed partial or complete chloroplastic localization. We also screened for potential protein interactors from larch and poplar by yeast two-hybrid assays. One pair of CSEPs and the triplet shared common interactors, whereas the members of the two other pairs did not have common targets from either host. Finally, stromule induction quantification revealed that two pairs and the triplet of CSEPs induced stromules when transiently expressed in N. benthamiana. The use of N. benthamiana eds1 and nrg1 knockout lines showed that CSEPs can induce stromules through an eds1-independent mechanism. However, CSEP homologs shared the same impact on stromule induction and contributed to discovering a new stromule induction cascade that can be partially and/or fully independent of eds1.

description: Galactic nuclei should contain a cluster of stars and compact objects in the vicinity of the central supermassive black hole due to stellar evolution, minor mergers and gravitational dynamical friction. By analogy with protoplanetary migration, nuclear cluster objects (NCOs) can migrate in the accretion disks that power active galactic nuclei by exchanging angular momentum with disk gas. Here we show that an individual NCO undergoing runaway outward migration comparable to Type III protoplanetary migration can generate an accretion rate corresponding to Seyfert AGN or quasar luminosities. Multiple migrating NCOs in an AGN disk can dominate traditional viscous disk accretion and at large disk radii, ensemble NCO migration and accretion could provide sufficient heating to prevent the gravitational instability from consuming disk gas in star formation. The magnitude and energy of the X-ray soft excess observed at ~0.1-1keV in Seyfert AGN could be explained by a small population of ~10^{2}-10^{3} accreting stellar mass black holes or a few ULXs. NCO migration and accretion in AGN disks are therefore extremely important mechanisms to add to realistic models of AGN disks.

description: Safely expanding indications for cellular therapies has been challenging given a lack of highly cancer-specific surface markers. Here we explore the hypothesis that tumor cells express cancer-specific surface protein conformations that are invisible to standard target discovery pipelines evaluating gene or protein expression, and these conformations can be identified and immunotherapeutically targeted. We term this strategy integrating cross-linking mass spectrometry with glycoprotein surface capture ‘structural surfaceomics’. As a proof of principle, we apply this technology to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a hematologic malignancy with dismal outcomes and no known optimal immunotherapy target. We identify the activated conformation of integrin β2 as a structurally defined, widely expressed AML-specific target. We develop and characterize recombinant antibodies to this protein conformation and show that chimeric antigen receptor T cells eliminate AML cells and patient-derived xenografts without notable toxicity toward normal hematopoietic cells. Our findings validate an AML conformation-specific target antigen and demonstrate a tool kit for applying these strategies more broadly.

description: A simple solvent exchange method is introduced to prepare high-concentration and surfactant-free graphene liquid dispersion. Natural graphite flakes are first exfoliated into graphene in dimethylformamide (DMF). DMF is then exchanged by terpineol through distillation, relying on their large difference in boiling points. Graphene can then be concentrated thanks to the volume difference between DMF and terpineol. The concentrated graphene dispersions are used to fabricate transparent conductive thin films, which possess comparable properties to those prepared by more complex methods.

description: The topic of this article is weak cosmic shear tomography where the line of sight-weighting is carried out with a set of specifically constructed orthogonal polynomials, dubbed TaRDiS (Tomography with orthogonAl Radial Distance polynomIal Systems). We investigate the properties of these polynomials and employ weak convergence spectra, which have been obtained by weighting with these polynomials, for the estimation of cosmological parameters. We quantify their power in constraining parameters in a Fisher-matrix technique and demonstrate how each polynomial projects out statistically independent information, and how the combination of multiple polynomials lifts degeneracies. The assumption of a reference cosmology is needed for the construction of the polynomials, and as a last point we investigate how errors in the construction with a wrong cosmological model propagate to misestimates in cosmological parameters. TaRDiS performs on a similar level as traditional tomographic methods and some key features of tomography are made easier to understand.

Quasars' Optical Polarization and Balmer Edge Feature Revealed by Ultra-Violet, and Polarized Visible to Near Infrared Emissions

description: Polarized emission from a quasar is produced by wavelength-independent electron scattering surrounding its accretion disc, and thus avoid the contamination from its host galaxy and reveal the intrinsic emission spectrum of the accretion disc. Ultra-violet (UV) emission from a quasar is normally free from the contamination from its host galaxy. Polarization fraction of the quasar's disc emission can therefore be determined by comparing total UV emission with polarized visible to near-infrared (NIR) emission; and the resulting continuum spectrum from UV to infrared can reveal the theoretically expected Balmer edge absorption feature. We fit the polarized spectra in visible and NIR bands together with the total UV spectra of two type-1 quasars (3C 95, 4C 09.72), to an extended geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disc model. In addition to the standard model, we include the Balmer edge absorption due to co-rotational neutral gas on a narrow annulus of the accretion disc. We find that the extended thin accretion disc model provides adequate description on the continuum spectra of the two quasars from UV to NIR wavelengths. A Monte-Carlo-Markov-Chain fitting to the continuum spectra is able to well constrain the true polarization fraction of the disk emission, which allows the Balmer edge feature to be completely revealed from polarized visible to UV continua. The Balmer edge feature is prominent in both quasars' spectra, and is significantly broadened due to the orbital motion of gas in the accretion disc. The broadening of the Balmer edge feature is therefore related to the quasar's inclination. This work proves the concept of determining quasar's inclination from the Balmer edge feature in their continuum spectra.
