description: Cardiac Arrhythmias (CA) are responsible for syncope and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in several million cases worldwide. The molecular basis of CA pathogenesis is known, but the underlying mechanisms connecting genotype to phenotype changes in the proteins are not yet fully explored. Hence, in this study, three LQT2-linked missense mutations (Thr613Met, Ser641Phe and Gly648Ser) located in exon-7 region of KCNH2 gene identified in CA patients was assessed for their deleteriousness using diverse computational algorithms. The SIFT and PolyPhen-2 methods, which depends on sequence conservation across species, and protein structure-based information have attributed pathogenicity to these variants. Protein behavior studies at 3D level have identified that these three missense mutations induce biochemically severe amino acid changes that may alters the structure and function of KCNH2. Our molecular docking suggested that mutant KCNH2 protein shows a similar binding interactions to KB-R7943 as compared to the wild type model. These findings could be useful in resorting to alternate therapies for subset of CA patients who show limited therapeutic response to KB-R7943. This study supports that in silico approaches could act as a first-line filters to screen the potential impact of CA linked KCNH2 mutations depending upon the perspective of molecular evolution and phenotype of proteins.

description: The formation of primordial black holes in the early universe in the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravity is investigated. Corrections to the threshold value of density perturbations are found. Above the threshold, the gravitational collapse occurs after the cosmological horizon crossing. The corrections depend in a certain way on the evolving scalar field. They affect the probability of primordial black holes formation, and can lead to their clustering at large scales if the scalar field is inhomogeneous. The formation of the clusters, in turn, increases the probability of black holes merge and the corresponding rate of gravitational wave bursts. The clusters can provide a significant contribution to the LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave events, if part of the observed events are associated with primordial black holes.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A Monte Carlo simulation program was used in this study to evaluate the performance of No.2 and better grade combination of 38 mm x 140 mm Western Hemlock lumber proof loaded in bending. Two proof load magnitudes of 19.54 MPa and 23.05 MPa representing the 2nd and 5th percentile load levels of the short-term strength respectively were selected for the proof testing program to investigate the impact of proof loading. The rate of loading for all the testing programs was 2679 MPa/hr. The Canadian damage accumulation model was incorporated into the simulation program to calculate the probability and time-of-failure of every member as well as the strength of the survivors after testing at the two proof load magnitudes. Damage accumulated in a member was quantified based on the strength of the weak survivors. It was found that damage accumulated appears to be greater in the weaker survived members tested at the 2nd percentile load level compare to the weaker survivors tested at the 5th percentile load level. Forty pieces of the 2000 members tested at the 2nd percentile load level broke during proof loading whereas 101 pieces failed when the 2000 members were proof loaded at the 5th percentile load level. Plots of cumulative probability distributions indicated no significant difference between the original short-term strength and the strength of the survivors tested at both proof load levels. However, approximately 11% damage was accumulated in the weakest survived members proof loaded at the 2nd percentile proof load level compared to a damage level of 1.2% experienced by the weakest survived member proof loaded at the 5th percentile load level. It appears damage did not accumulate in the survivors with bending strength values beyond 20.69 MPa and 24.48 MPa for the 2nd and 5th percentile proof load levels respectively. Therefore, when a proof load magnitude of 23.05 MPa is selected to evaluate the performance of 38 mm x 140 mm Western Hemlock lumber in bending, more reliable survivors may be obtained compare to a proof load magnitude of 19.54 MPa.

description: In many areas of the United States, dairy and livestock farmers are facing lawsuits due to a variety of externalities, such as odor and other forms of non-point source pollution, caused by Confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's). Complaints include: general illness, unpleasant odor, headaches, and property devaluation. However, state and national law requires all CAFO's to have some form of waste storage facility. These facilities, mainly lagoons, increase the potential of pollution and run-off into streams and other water sources. As a result, large producers are beginning to install anaerobic digestive (A.D.) systems, which are a new form of waste management practices that reduces negative environmental effects. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the future value of an ordinary annuity of an anaerobic digestive system by analyzing the joint probability of being sued and losing a litigation case. The analysis will also factor in potential policy incentives such as 100% grants with guaranteed electric buy-back premiums to determine a producer's joint probability of losing a litigation case.

We construct examples of associative and coassociative submanifolds of R^7 and of Cayley submanifolds of R^8. This construction is a generalization of the Harvey-Lawson bundle construction of special Lagrangian submanifolds of R^{2n}.

description: Rosmarinic acid is a polyphenolic phytoconstituent isolated from the leaves of Plectranthus amboinicus and its structure was established by analysis of its 1H, 13C and HRMS. The effect of rosmarinic acid was evaluated by deranged plasma and tissues glycoprotein components in diabetic rats. Rosmarinic acid was administered to diabetic rats for 30 days significantly declined the levels of blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin with elevation of plasma insulin and haemoglobin levels. Rosmarinic acid administration improved the glycogen content in liver and muscle tissue by reinstating the altered glycogen metabolic enzymes such as glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase. Further, the altered levels of plasma and tissue glycoprotein components were restored to near normal upon treatment with rosmarinic acid. In addition, rosmarinic acid treatment prevented body weight loss and excessive intake of food and water. The effect produced by the rosmarinic acid on various parameters was comparable to that of metformin.

description: HPV vaccination coverage remains far below the national target of 80% among US adolescents, particularly in rural areas, which have vaccine uptake rates that are 10% points lower than non-rural areas on average. Primary care professionals (PCPs) can increase coverage by using presumptive recommendations to introduce HPV vaccination in a way that assumes parents want to vaccinate. Through semi-structured interviews, we explored PCPs' experiences and perceptions of using presumptive recommendations in rural- and non-rural-serving primary care clinics in North Carolina. Thematic analysis revealed that most PCPs in rural and non-rural contexts used presumptive recommendations and felt the strategy was an effective and concise way to introduce the topic of HPV vaccination to parents. At the same time, some PCPs raised concerns about presumptive recommendations potentially straining relationships with certain parents, including those who had previously declined HPV vaccine or who distrust medical authority due to their past experiences with the healthcare system. PCPs dealt with these challenges by using a more open-ended approach when introducing HPV vaccination to parents. In conclusion, our findings suggest that PCPs in both rural and non-rural settings see value in using presumptive recommendations to introduce HPV vaccination, but to adequately address concerns and ensure increased HPV vaccine uptake, PCPs can use simple and culturally sensitive language to ensure fully informed consent and to maintain parental trust. And to further strengthen HPV vaccine discussions, PCPs can utilize other effective HPV communication techniques, like the Announcement Approach, in discussing HPV vaccinations with hesitant parents.

We show that it is possible to perform various one-qubit rotations making use of the microwave pulses tuned to the resonances between the localized states and the excited state delocalized over the nanostructure. Explicit analytic expression for the time-dependent electron state vector is derived, and the appropriate pulse parameters are determined.

description: Recently the XENON1T collaboration has released new results on searches for new physics in low-energy electronic recoils. The data shows an excess over background in the low-energy tail, particularly pronounced at about $2-3$ keV. With an exposure of $0.65$ tonne-year, large detection efficiency and energy resolution, the detector is sensitive as well to solar neutrino backgrounds, with the most prominent contribution given by $pp$ neutrinos. We investigate whether such signal can be explained in terms of new neutrino interactions with leptons mediated by a light vector particle. We find that the excess is consistent with this interpretation for vector masses below $\lesssim 0.1$ MeV. The region of parameter space probed by the XENON1T data is competitive with constraints from laboratory experiments, in particular GEMMA, Borexino and TEXONO. However we point out a severe tension with astrophysical bounds and cosmological observations.

description: Individuals who are unaware of the price do not derive more enjoyment from more expensive wine. In a sample of more than 6,000 blind tastings, we find that the correlation between price and overall rating is small and negative, suggesting that individuals on average enjoy more expensive wines slightly less. For individuals with wine training, however, we find indications of a positive relationship between price and enjoyment. Our results are robust to the inclusion of individual fixed effects, and are not driven by outliers: when omitting the top and bottom deciles of the price distribution, our qualitative results are strengthened, and the statistical significance is improved further. Our results indicate that both the prices of wines and wine recommendations by experts may be poor guides for non-expert wine consumers.

description: Poisson-Lie duality is a generalization of abelian and non-abelian T-duality, and it can be viewed as a map between solutions of the low-energy effective equations of string theory, i.e. at the (super)gravity level. We show that this fact extends to the next order in $α'$ (two loops in $σ$-model perturbation theory) provided that the map is corrected. The $α'$-correction to the map is induced by the anomalous Lorentz transformations of the fields that are necessary to go from a doubled $O(D,D)$-covariant formulation to the usual (super)gravity description.

description: We establish a generalized picture of the phase-sensitivity of laser-induced directional bond-breaking using the H$_2$ molecule as the example. We show that the well-known proton ejection anisotropy measured with few-cycle pulses arises as an amplitude-modulation of an intrinsic anisotropy that is sensitive to the laser phase at the ionization time and determined by the molecule's electronic structure. Our work furthermore reveals a strong electron-proton correlation that may open up a new approach to experimentally accessing the laser-sub-cycle intramolecular electron dynamics also in large molecules.

description: Data visualisation is an essential tool for effective communication and interpretation of information. Visualisation of information using images is easier compared to numerical values. Google Earth provides a platform for a practical monitoring site visualisation system. A real-time web-based water quality monitoring system was deployed on Google Earth based on National Water Quality Index of Malaysia (NWQI). The system used graphical representation through vary shape and colour for easy interpretation of water quality status. NWQI index uses; pH, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and ammonical nitrogen. The use of different colour, shades of a hue and shapes for the system can motivate public to participate in environmental conservation. The colour used to represent WQI value on the map is derived from a single hue scheme of different quantities which produce varying brightness and shades. Web-based WQI index can be used to identify pollution sources based on the graphical representation of water quality trend. The system is assessed by evaluating spatial variations water quality of a river in Peninsular Malaysia known as Langat River for 2005, 2010 and 2015. The water quality index status through visualisation can be accessed at the following URL – http://www.umlivinglabsystem.com/SiteViewer/SiteViewerAvgSL.
Modeling the distribution of enzymes on lipid vesicles: A novel framework for surface-mediated reactions in coagulation
Creators: name: Sindi, Suzanne S

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2024

description: Blood coagulation is a network of biochemical reactions wherein dozens of proteins act collectively to initiate a rapid clotting response. Coagulation reactions are lipid-surface dependent, and this dependence is thought to help localize coagulation to the site of injury and enhance the association between reactants. Current mathematical models of coagulation either do not consider lipid as a variable or do not agree with experiments where lipid concentrations were varied. Since there is no analytic rate law that depends on lipid, only apparent rate constants can be derived from enzyme kinetic experiments. We developed a new mathematical framework for modeling enzymes reactions in the presence of lipid vesicles. Here the concentrations are such that only a fraction of the vesicles harbor bound enzymes and the rest remain empty. We call the lipid vesicles with and without enzyme TF:VIIa+ and TF:VIIa- lipid, respectively. Since substrate binds to both TF:VIIa+ and TF:VIIa- lipid, our model shows that excess empty lipid acts as a strong sink for substrate. We used our framework to derive an analytic rate equation and performed constrained optimization to estimate a single, global set of intrinsic rates for the enzyme-substrate pair. Results agree with experiments and reveal a critical lipid concentration where the conversion rate of the substrate is maximized, a phenomenon known as the template effect. Next, we included product inhibition of the enzyme and derived the corresponding rate equations, which enables kinetic studies of more complex reactions. Our combined experimental and mathematical study provides a general framework for uncovering the mechanisms by which lipid mediated reactions impact coagulation processes.

description: The local languages in Senegal, like those of West African countries in general, are written based on two alphabets: supplemented Arabic alphabet (called Ajami) and Latin alphabet. Each writing has its own applications. Ajami writing is generally used by people educated in Koranic schools for communication, business, literature (religious texts, poetry, etc.), traditional religious medicine, etc. Writing with Latin characters is used for localization of ICT (Web, dictionaries, Windows and Google tools translated in Wolof, etc.), the translation of legal texts (commercial code and constitution translated in Wolof) and religious ones (Quran and Bible in Wolof), book edition, etc. To facilitate both populations general access to knowledge, it is useful to set up transliteration tools between these two scriptures. This work falls within the framework of the implementation of project for a collaborative online dictionary Wolof (Nguer E. M., Khoule M, Thiam M. N., Mbaye B. T., Thiare O., Cisse M. T., Mangeot M. 2014), which will involve people using Ajami writing. Our goal will consist, on the one hand in raising the issues related to the transliteration and the challenges that this will raise, and on the other one, presenting the perspectives.

description: The proof of the existence of the thermodynamic limit for electrons and nuclei interacting via the Coulomb potential, in the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, was accomplished decades ago. This result did not take account of interactions caused by magnetic fields, however, (the spin-spin interaction, in particular) or of the quantized nature of the electromagnetic field. Recent progress has made it possible to undertake such a proof in the context of non-relativistic QED. This paper contains one part of such a proof by giving a lower bound to the free energy which is proportional to the number of particles and which takes account of the fact that the field, unlike the particles, is never confined to a finite volume. In the earlier proof the lower bound was a `two line' corollary of the `stability of matter'. In QED the proof is much more complicated.

description: Despite the millions of dollars awarded annually by the United States Department of Education to build implementation capacity through technical assistance (TA), data on TA effectiveness are severely lacking. Foundational to the operationalization and consistent research on TA effectiveness is the development and use of standardized TA core competencies, practices, and structures. Despite advances toward a consistent definition of TA, a gap still exists in understanding how these competencies are used within an operationalized set of TA practices to produce targeted outcomes at both individual and organizational levels to facilitate implementation of evidence-based practices. The current article describes key insights derived from the evaluation of an operationalized set of TA practices used by a nationally funded TA center, the State Implementation & Scaling Up of Evidence Based Practices (SISEP) Center. The TA provided by the Center supports the uptake of evidence-based practices in K-12 education for students with disabilities. Lessons learned include: (1) the need to understand the complexities and dependencies of operationalizing TA both longitudinally and at multiple levels of the system (state, regional, local); (2) the relative importance of building general and innovation-specific capacity for implementation success; (3) the value of using a co-design and participatory approach for effective TA delivery; (4) the need to develop TA providers' educational and implementation fluency across areas and levels of the system receiving TA; and (5) the need to ensure coordination and alignment of TA providers from different centers. Gaining an understanding into optimal TA practices will not only provide clarity of definition fundamental to TA research, but it will also inform the conceptual framing and practice of TA.

description: Finisher hog production in North America has seen a shift toward larger production units and contract-organized production since around 1990. Given the efficiency gains and conversion costs associated with contract production, growers may have to choose between long-term commitment through investments and atrophy with intent to exit in the intermediate term. A model is developed to show that growers with any of three efficiency attributes (lower innate hazard of exit, variable costs, or fixed contract adoption costs) are not only more likely to contract but will also produce more and expend more on lowering business survival risks. Using the 2004 U.S. Agricultural Resource Management Survey for hogs, a recursive bivariate probit model is estimated in which exit is affected directly and also indirectly through the contract decision. It is confirmed that contracting producers are less likely to exit. Greater specialization and regional effects are important in increasing the probability of contracting. More education, having non-farm income, and older production facilities are significant factors in increasing the expected rate of exit. The findings suggest further exits by non-contract producers.

 Remarks
 Chironax melanocephalus was captured at an elevation of 50–855 m a.s.l. in lowland rainforest and disturbed forest in the survey area. Based on differences in cranial characters, fur color, and ear shape, Maharadatunkamsi (2012) recognized three subspecies of C. melanocephalus in Indonesia, (C. m. melanocephalus in Java and Sumatra, C. m. tumulus in Sulawesi, and C. m. dyasae in Kalimantan), and indicated that C. m. melanocephalus was the only subspecies in Sumatra. Nevertheless, two distinct morphological forms were found in this study. The first morph has round-tipped and shorter ears, smaller body size (Table 2), relatively weaker rostrum, and light gray or yellow underparts. The ear shape and rostrum are similar to those of C. m. melanocephalus and C. m. tumulus (as Pteropus melanocephalus in Temminck, 1825; Maharadatunkamsi, 2012) but the color differs on the underparts which is grayish brown in C. m. melanocephalus and brownish gray in C. m. tumulus. The second morph has triangular-tipped and longer ears, larger body size, a more robust rostrum, and is gray on the underparts. The ear shape and rostrum are more characteristic of C. m. dyasae but the color differs on the underparts which is yellowish brown in C. m. dyasae (Maharadatunkamsi, 2012). Further detailed morphological and genetic analyses are necessary to clarify the taxonomic status of the two morphs.

description: We have performed the powder neutron diffraction measurements on the solid solutions of SrRu_{1-x}Mn_xO_3, and found that the itinerant ferromagnetic order observed in pure SrRuO_3 changes into the C-type antiferromagnetic (AF) order with nearly localized d electrons in the intermediate Mn concentration between x=0.4 and 0.6. With increasing x, the AF moment is strongly enhanced from 1.1 mB (x=0.4) to 2.6 mB (x=0.6), which is accompanied by the elongation of the tetragonal c/a ratio. These results suggest that the substitution of Mn for Ru suppresses the itinerant character of the d electrons, and induces the superexchange interaction through the compression in the c plane. We have also found that the magnetic and transport properties observed in our tetragonal samples are quite similar to those of recently reported orthorhombic ones.

description: Concerns about the risk of food supply contamination and the resulting financial losses have limited the development and commercialization of certain pharmaceutical plants. This article develops an insurance pricing model that helps translate these concerns into a cost-benefit analysis. The model first estimates the physical dispersal of maize pollen subject to a number of weather parameters. This distribution is then validated with the limited amount of currently available field trial data. The physical distribution is then used to calculate the premium for a fair-valued insurance policy that would fund the destruction of possibly contaminated fields. The flexible framework can be readily adapted to other crops, management practices, and regions.

description: We study the resonances $ϕ(1020)$ and $ϕ(1680)$ contributions for the three-body decays $B^+ \to D_s^+K\bar K$ in the perturbative QCD approach. The branching ratios for $B^+ \to D_s^+ϕ(1020) \to D_s^+ K^+K^-$ and $B^+ \to D_s^+ϕ(1020) \to D_s^+ K^0\bar{K}^0$ are predicted to be $(1.53\pm0.23) \times 10^{-7}$ and $(1.02^{+0.19}_{-0.13} )\times 10^{-7}$, respectively. The decay $B^+ \to D_s^+ϕ(1680)$ with $ϕ(1680)$ decays into $K^+K^-$ or $K^0\bar{K}^0$, has the branching fraction $(6.94^{+1.83}_{-2.02})\times 10^{-9}$, which is about $5\%$ of the result for $B^+ \to D_s^+ϕ(1020) \to D_s^+ K^+K^-$.

Testing the Way Forward: The Impact of Statewide ACT or SAT Testing on Postsecondary Outcomes

description: Twenty-nine states require or allow all 11th graders to take the ACT or SAT in school, for free, eliminating access to testing as a barrier to college entry. I examine whether this affects postsecondary outcomes using state-aggregated panel data and time-varying difference-in-differences methods. I find policy adoption led to 2% increases in selective 4-year enrollments by students from treated states. However, adoption had no effect on enrollments within adopting states’ selective institutions, in part because institutions enrolled fewer students from out-of-state after adoption. I also find null but directionally negative effects on the number of graduates from state institutions. Therefore, impacts are small but positive for students from adopting states, but null or negative for adopting states’ institutions.

description: BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of bladder cancer (BC). Some proponents of e-cigarettes describe their use as a risk mitigation strategy despite potential carcinogen exposure and uncertain long-term risks.
OBJECTIVE: We assessed smoking cessation strategies, including e-cigarette use, and harm perception among patients with BC.
METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study on a convenience sample of patients with BC at a single institution from August 2021 - October 2022. The survey instrument was sourced from the Cancer Patient Tobacco Use Questionnaire (C-TUQ) from the American Association for Cancer Research with standardized questions on tobacco use, cessation questions, and e-cigarette harm perceptions.
RESULTS: Of the 104 surveyed BC patients (mean age: 72 years; 27% female; 55% with muscle-invasive disease), 20% were current smokers (median pack years: 40) and 51% were former smokers (median pack years: 20). A minority (9%) had quit smoking at the time of diagnosis. Pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation included nicotine patches (25%), gum (21%), lozenges (8%), e-cigarettes (8%), and Varenicline/Bupropion (4%). Notably, 43% of patients who continued to smoke expressed willingness to switch to e-cigarettes as a cessation aid. E-cigarette users (11%) more commonly perceived e-cigarettes as non-harmful compared to former (4%) and non-smokers (4%) (P = .048), though all groups regarded e-cigarettes as equally addictive as traditional cigarettes.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the prevalence of BC survivors who continue to smoke, a significant proportion perceive e-cigarettes as a viable and less harmful cessation aid. The infrequent use of FDA-approved pharmacotherapies underscores potential implementation gaps. These findings highlight the need for further research and targeted interventions in addressing smoking cessation among BC survivors.
Phase diagram at finite temperature and quark density in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD for color SU(3)

description: We study the phase diagram of quark matter at finite temperature (T) and finite chemical potential (mu) in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD for color SU(3). We derive an analytical expression of the effective free energy as a function of T and mu, including baryon effects. The finite temperature effects are evaluated by integrating over the temporal link variable exactly in the Polyakov gauge with anti-periodic boundary condition for fermions. The obtained phase diagram shows the first order phase transition at low temperatures and the second order phase transition at high temperatures separated by the tri-critical point in the chiral limit. Baryon has effects to reduce the effective free energy and to extend the hadron phase to a larger mu direction at low temperatures.
