description: Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease, often transmitted to humans from animals. While the whole world is haggling with the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) arose as a new challenge to mankind. Till date, numerous cases related to the MPXV have been reported in several countries across the globe, but, its momentary distribution in the current time has left everyone in fright with increasing mortality and limited clinically approved treatments. Therefore, it is of immense importance to develop a potent and highly effective vaccine capable of inducing desired immunogenic responses against the highly contagious MPXV. Herein, using various immunoinformatic and computational biology tools, we made an attempt to develop a multi-epitope vaccine construct against the MPXV which is antigenic, non-allergen and non-toxic in nature and capable of exhibiting immunogenic behavior. The sequence of vaccine construct was designed using the proposed 4 MHC-I, 3 MHC-II and 4 B-cell epitopes linked with suitable adjuvant and linkers. The modeled structure of the vaccine construct was used to assess its interaction with the Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) using ClusPro and HADDOCK. All-atoms molecular dynamics simulation of the MPXV vaccine construct-TLR4 complex followed by a high level of gene expression of the construct within the bacterial system affirmed its stability along with induction of immunogenic response within the host cell. Altogether, our immunoinformatic approach aid in the development of a stable chimeric vaccine construct against MPXV and needs further experimental validation for its immunological relevance and usefulness as a vaccine candidate.

description: On-shell kinematics for gluon scattering can be parametrized with points on the celestial sphere; in the limit where these points collide, it is known that tree-level gluon scattering amplitudes exhibit an operator product expansion (OPE)-like structure. While it is possible to obtain singular contributions to this celestial OPE, getting regular contributions from both holomorphic and anti-holomorphic sectors is more difficult. In this paper, we use twistor string theory to describe the maximal helicity violating (MHV) sector of tree-level, four-dimensional gluon scattering as an effective 2d conformal field theory on the celestial sphere. By organizing the OPE between vertex operators in this theory in terms of soft gluon descendants, we obtain all-order expressions for the celestial OPE which include all regular contributions in the collinear expansion. This gives new, all-order formulae for the collinear splitting function (in momentum space) and celestial OPE coefficients (in the conformal primary basis) of tree-level MHV gluon scattering. We obtain these results for both positive and negative helicity gluons, and for any incoming/outgoing kinematic configuration within the MHV sector.

description: We calculate the spectrum of quasinormal modes of slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black holes. Using a perturbative double expansion method, second order in rotation and first order in non-radial perturbations, we obtain the system of equations that describe polar-led and axial-led perturbations. We analyse gravitational, electromagnetic and scalar fundamental modes, focusing on the $\mathrm{l}=2$ perturbations. We reproduce previous results and check that isospectrality between axial and polar-led perturbations is approximately satisfied with good accuracy. Our results show that the slow rotation approximation can be used to estimate with reasonable precision the spectrum of configurations up to 50-60$\%$ of the extremal angular momentum.

description: Nonlinear dynamics of a bouncing ball moving vertically in a gravitational field and colliding with a moving limiter is considered and the Poincare map, describing evolution from an impact to the next impact, is described. Displacement of the limiter is assumed as periodic, cubic function of time. Due to simplicity of this function analytical computations are possible. Several dynamical modes, such as fixed points, 2 - cycles and chaotic bands are studied analytically and numerically. It is shown that chaotic bands are created from fixed points after first period doubling in a corner-type bifurcation. Equation for the time of the next impact is solved exactly for the case of two subsequent impacts occurring in the same period of limiter's motion making analysis of chattering possible.

description: The eigenspectrum of the Koopman operator enables the decomposition of nonlinear dynamics into a sum of nonlinear functions of the state space with purely exponential and sinusoidal time dependence. For a limited number of dynamical systems, it is possible to find these Koopman eigenfunctions exactly and analytically. Here, this is done for the Korteweg-de Vries equation on a periodic interval, using the periodic inverse scattering transform and some concepts of algebraic geometry. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first complete Koopman analysis of a partial differential equation which does not have a trivial global attractor. The results are shown to match the frequencies computed by the data-driven method of dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). We demonstrate that in general DMD gives a large number of eigenvalues near the imaginary axis, and show how these should be interpretted in this setting.

description: Mechanically quenching a thin film of smectic-C liquid crystal results in the formation of a dense array of thousands of topological defects in the director field. The subsequent rapid coarsening of the film texture by the mutual annihilation of defects of opposite sign has been captured using high-speed, polarized light video microscopy. The temporal evolution of the texture has been characterized using an object-detection convolutional neural network to determine the defect locations, and a binary classification network customized to evaluate the brush orientation dynamics around the defects in order to determine their topological signs. At early times following the quench, inherent limits on the spatial resolution result in undercounting of the defects and deviations from expected behavior. At intermediate to late times, the observed annihilation dynamics scale in agreement with theoretical predictions and simulations of the $2$D XY model.

description: A new series of thiazolidinone linked 1,2,3-triazole hybrids 5a-h was designed and synthesized using the copper-catalyzed Huisgen azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) between thiazolidinone linked alkyne and aromatic azides. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established by NMR (1H and 13C) and HRMS. The targeted thiazolidinone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines, including fibrosarcoma (HT-1080), lung carcinoma (A-549), and breast carcinoma (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliun bromide (MTT). The obtained data showed that most of these compounds have moderate anti-proliferative activity with IC50 values between 10.26 ± 0.71 and 53.93 ± 1.20 μM. The compound 5a exhibited higher activity with an IC50 value of 10.26 ± 0.71 µM, compared to 5d with an IC50 value of 11.56 ± 1.98 µM for the HT-1080 and MCF-7 cancer cells line, respectively. Moreover, Annexin-V apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry for hybrid compounds 5a and 5d against HT-1080 and MCF-7 competitor cell lines, as they increase the level of active caspase 3/7. The experimental results were further confirmed by docking studies followed by molecular dynamic simulations. Both the potent derivatives i.e. 5a and 5d have comparable docking scores and MD simulations results showed that the docked complex of 5a is somewhat more stable than 5d primarily for protein p53. The ADMET profile of both derivatives established their safety zone and drug-like potential. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: When considering construction apprenticeship ‘success’, two general categories can be distinguished, namely completion and non-completion. However international comparisons cannot be effectively established because of the differing terminology and definitions used by various researchers. Comparative investigations face challenges due to social and educational disparities, making direct evaluations misleading or ineffective. The aim of this paper is to communicate how different countries define ‘completion’ and ‘completion rates', to find common ground between the definitions and recommend consistent terms for use in further Irish research. Research papers from five countries were selected: - Ireland, United Kingdom. United States of America, Australia, and Germany to analyse and compare completion terminology. The literature confirms a lack of consensus on the terminology as well as differing methodology for calculating completion rate. There is limited research on apprenticeship completion in Ireland and as such the key contribution will be utilising this research to create a definition of apprenticeship completion and completion rates for Ireland to make comparisons internationally with the eventual hope of increasing apprenticeship success in this country.

description: We propose a simple model for the origin of fast and slow rotator early-type galaxies (ETG) within the hierarchical $Λ$CDM scenario, that is based on the assumption that the mass fraction of stellar discs in ETGs is a proxy for the specific angular momentum expressed via $λ_R$. Within our model we reproduce the fraction of fast and slow rotators as a function of magnitude in the \atl survey, assuming that fast rotating ETGs have at least 10% of their total stellar mass in a disc component. In agreement with \atl observations we find that slow rotators are predominantly galaxies with $ M_* > 10^{10.5}$ M$_{\odot}$ contributing $\sim 20%$ to the overall ETG population. We show in detail that the growth histories of fast and slow rotators are different, supporting the classification of ETGs into these two categories. Slow rotators accrete between $\sim 50% -90%$ of their stellar mass from satellites and their most massive progenitors have on average up to 3 major mergers during their evolution. Fast rotators in contrast, accrete less than 50% and have on average less than one major merger in their past. We find that the underlying physical reason for the different growth histories is the slowing down and ultimately complete shut-down of gas cooling in massive galaxies. Once cooling and associated star formation in disc stops, galaxies grow via infall from satellites. Frequent minor mergers thereby, destroy existing stellar discs via violent relaxation and also tend to lower the specific angular momentum of the main stellar body, lowering $λ_R$ into the slow rotator regime.

description: We address the possibility of the appearance of a charged kaon condensate in neutron star cores described within a generalized Skyrme model. Our treatment of strange degrees of freedom is based on the Bound State Approach by Callan and Klebanov, which allows to obtain an in-medium effective potential for the $s$-wave kaon condensate. We predict the onset of kaon condensation at a certain threshold density - whose value depends on the parameters of the model, and ranges between 1.5 and 2.5 times saturation density -, and obtain both the particle fractions and equation of state for dense matter in the kaon condensed phase. Finally, we discuss the effect of such condensates on the mass-radius curves and other observable properties of neutron stars with kaon condensed cores.

description: A policymaking simulation is an online process that puts citizens in the shoes of elected officials by simulating the process they go through in making policy decisions. Each simulation introduces a broader policy topic and then presents a series of modules that address a specific policy option that is currently under consideration in the current discourse. For each module, respondents: 1) receive a short briefing on a policy issue and the option or options for addressing it; 2) evaluate arguments for and against the policy options; and 3) finally, make their recommendation for what their elected officials should do.
description: A new in-depth survey finds bipartisan majorities support a number of tax incentives that seek to reduce the use of fossil fuels. The proposals, all introduced in Congress, include measures to encourage developing alternative sources of clean energy–such as solar and wind, making homes and commercial buildings more energy efficient, and the use of electric vehicles. The support from majorities of Republicans and Democrats was rooted in voter concern about the health effects of fossil fuels as well as their impact on climate.

description: KRAS is the signature gene responsible for the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, which is a complex, multifactorial and intractable lethal malignancy. Prevention and treatment of the ailment have always been a key motivation behind the search for new therapeutic drug molecules. G-quadruplexes are non-canonical guanine-rich secondary structures, commonly formed at eukaryotic telomeric ends, oncogenic promotors and G-rich regions of the DNA. These G-quadruplexes play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genome integrity, therefore, they are considered as emerging potential therapeutic drug targets. The present study is concerned with the discovery of a potential stabilizer for KRAS22RT G-quadruplex DNA, located in the NHE region of the promotor, while inhibiting the upregulation of KRAS proto-oncogene, as an alternative approach for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Various chemical libraries have been virtually screened against the targeted G4 structure and 143 compounds showed promising results. However, molecular dynamic studies, ADME and toxicity analyses predicted that three compounds belonging to the class of tetra-substituted phenanthrolines (i.e., 7i, 7j and 7k) can not only effectively stabilize KRAS22RT G4 structure but also have least toxic effects in the in vivo system. Therefore, it is highly recommended to further investigate their effectiveness and efficacy through experimental analysis in laboratory. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: An $H_n$-factor of a graph $G$ is defined to be a spanning subgraph $F$ of $G$ such that each vertex has degree belonging to the set $\{1,3,5,...,2n-1,2n\}$ in $F$. In this paper, we investigate $H_n$-factors of graphs by using Lovász's structural descriptions to the degree prescribed subgraph problem. We find some sufficient conditions for the existence of an $H_n$-factor of a graph. In particular, we make progress on the characterization problem for a special family of graphs proposed by Cui and Kano in 1988.

description: The microquasar GX 339-4, known to exhibit powerful compact jets that dominate its radio to near-infrared emission, entered an outburst in 2010 for the fifth time in about fifteen years. An extensive radio to X-ray multi-wavelength campaign was immediately triggered, and we report here on ESO/FORS2+ISAAC optical and near-infrared spectroscopic observations, supported by ATCA radio and RXTE/Swift X-ray quasi-simultaneous data. GX 339-4 was observed at three different epochs, once in the soft state and twice in the hard state. In the soft state, the optical and near-infrared continuum is largely consistent with the Raleigh-Jeans tail of a thermal process. As an explanation, we favour irradiation of the outer accretion disc by its inner regions, enhanced by disc warping. An excess is also present at low frequencies, likely due to a M subgiant companion star. During the first hard state, the optical/near-infrared continuum is well-described by the optically thin synchrotron emission of the compact jet combined with disc irradiation and perhaps another component peaking in the ultraviolet. The spectral break where the jet transits from the optically thick to thin regimes, located below 1.20e14 Hz, is not detected and the extension of the optically thin synchrotron is consistent with the 3-50 keV spectrum. In contrast, the emission during the second hard state is more difficult to understand and points toward a more complex jet continuum. In both cases, the near-infrared continuum is found to be variable at timescales at least as short as 20 s, although these variabilities are smoothed out beyond a few hundred seconds. This implies rapid variations - in flux and frequency - of the location of the spectral break, i.e. dramatic short timescale changes of the physical conditions at the base of the jet, such as the magnetic field and/or the base radius.

Universal scaling relations for logarithmic-correction exponents

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: By the early 1960's advances in statistical physics had established the existence of universality classes for systems with second-order phase transitions and characterized these by critical exponents which are different to the classical ones. There followed the discovery of (now famous) scaling relations between the power-law critical exponents describing second-order criticality. These scaling relations are of fundamental importance and now form a cornerstone of statistical mechanics. In certain circumstances, such scaling behaviour is modified by multiplicative logarithmic corrections. These are also characterized by critical exponents, analogous to the standard ones. Recently scaling relations between these logarithmic exponents have been established. Here, the theories associated with these advances are presented and expanded and the status of investigations into logarithmic corrections in a variety of models is reviewed.

description: C1 domains are lipid-binding structural units of about 50 residues. Typical C1 domains associate with the plasma membrane and bind to diacylglycerol/phorbol ester during the activation of the proteins containing these domains. Although the overall structure of the C1 domains are similar, there are differences in their primary sequence and in the orientation of the ligand/lipid binding residues. To gain structural insights into the ligand/lipid binding, we performed molecular docking of phorbol 13-acetate into the C1 domain and 1.0 μs molecular dynamics simulation on the C1 domain–ligand–lipid ternary system for PKCθ C1A, PKCδ C1B, PKCβII C1B, PKCθ C1B, Munc13-1 C1, and βII-Chimaerin C1. We divided these C1 domains into three types based on the orientations of Gln-27 and Trp/Tyr-22. In type 1, Trp/Tyr-22 is outside and Gln-27 is inside the ligand binding pocket. In type 2, both Trp/Tyr-22 and Gln-27 are outside the ligand binding pocket, and in type 3, Trp/Tyr-22 is inside and Gln-27 is outside the pocket. The type 1 C1 domains showed higher ligand binding and higher membrane binding with a shorter distance between the C1 domain and the membrane than the type 2 and type 3. For ligand binding, Pro-11 plays a major role in the type 1 and 2, and Gly-23 in the type 1 and type 3 C1 domains. This study elucidates the role of Gln-27, Trp-22, Pro-11 and Gly-23 in ligand/lipid binding in typical C1 domains and bears significance in developing selective modulators of C1 domain-containing proteins.

The S-dual theory contains a non-gauge 1-form field, previously proposed by Deser and Jackiw and a level $k$ $U(1)$ Chern-Simons term, $Z_{\rm MCS}=Z_{\rm DJ}Z_{\rm CS}$. The couplings to external electric and magnetic currents and their string theory realisations are also discussed.

Beyond the confines of the ore deposit : mapping low temperature hydrothermal alteration above, within, and beneath Carlin-type Gold deposits
Creators: name: Ahmed, Ayesha Doris

description: Multiple analytical techniques were employed to investigate distal patterns in low temperature hydrothermal fluid flow into and out of Carlin-type gold deposits in two study areas: the Leeville deposit and the Shoshone range including the Pipeline, Gold Acres and Elder Creek deposits. Previous studies indicate that gold is hosted in lower Paleozoic carbonate rocks overlain by thick sequences of similarly aged siliciclastic rocks. Patterns in δ¹⁸O depletion (<20‰VSMOW), and Au, As, Sb, Hg, Tl, and Te concentrations in lower Paleozoic carbonate rock identified three disconnected lateral fluid pathways into the Pipeline deposit: a main conduit providing gold-bearing fluid to the main ore body, the Abyss fault located ~300m below the main ore zone, and the RMT located underneath the Abyss fault. Following gold precipitation in the Pipeline deposit, gold-depleted fluids were likely exhausted laterally, at least initially, along the same structures as those that allowed fluid to enter the deposit. Upon intersecting the RMT fault, fluid either exploited the fault to reach surface, or transgressed overlying siliciclastic rocks via small scale faults and fractures. δ¹⁸O and δD values of H₂O in equilibrium clay minerals, and the concentration and crystallinity of illite outlined multiple zones of hydrothermal alteration in surface rocks from both the Shoshone Range and Leeville study areas, however no genetic link was established to Carlin-type gold mineralization at depth. Similarities in trace element geochemistry, ore assemblage, and alteration assemblages however, suggest that the Elder Creek deposit may represent low temperature (200°C) gold mineralization resulting from the exhaust of Carlin-type ore forming fluid. The region above the surface projection of the Leeville deposit exhibits multiple zones of hydrothermal fluid upflow resulting in pervasive illitization of surface siliciclastic rocks. The Pipeline/ Gold Acres also contain abundant crystalline illite. The presence of highly crystalline illite highlights zones of focused fluid upflow, typically along faults and other secondary permeability structures such as breccias.

description: Human mitochondria are the vital cell organelle acting as a storehouse of energy generation and diverse regulatory functions. Mitochondrial DNA comprises 93% coding region and 7% non-coding regions, in which the non-coding region hypothesized as responsible for signaling is our specific interest. Here, we explored the unknown functions of mitochondrial non-coding RNAs by studying their respective signaling pathways. We retrieved conserved motifs of interactions from known experimental protein-RNA complexes to model unknown mitochondrial ncRNA sequences. Our results provide the ncRNAs list and show their involvement in four crucial pathways, such as (i) Processing of Capped Intron-Containing Pre-mRNA, (ii) Spliceosome, (iii) Spliceosomal assembly, and (iv) RNA Polymerase II Transcription, respectively. The interactome analysis revealed that the SRSF2 and U2AF2 proteins interact with ncRNAs. Further, we have simulated the selected ncRNA-protein complexes in cell-like environmental conditions and found them stable in terms of energetics. Through our study, we have identified an apparent interaction of mitochondrial ncRNAs with proteins and their role in critical signaling pathways, providing new insights into mitochondrial ncRNA-dependent gene regulation.

description: Grokking is the intriguing phenomenon where a model learns to generalize long after it has fit the training data. We show both analytically and numerically that grokking can surprisingly occur in linear networks performing linear tasks in a simple teacher-student setup with Gaussian inputs. In this setting, the full training dynamics is derived in terms of the training and generalization data covariance matrix. We present exact predictions on how the grokking time depends on input and output dimensionality, train sample size, regularization, and network initialization. We demonstrate that the sharp increase in generalization accuracy may not imply a transition from "memorization" to "understanding", but can simply be an artifact of the accuracy measure. We provide empirical verification for our calculations, along with preliminary results indicating that some predictions also hold for deeper networks, with non-linear activations.

description: We compute the exclusive photoproduction of a $γ\,π^\pm$ pair using the collinear factorisation framework, in the kinematic regime where the pair has a large invariant mass. This exclusive channel presents a new avenue for the investigation of GPDs. It is particularly interesting as the high centre of mass energies available at future experiments will allow the study of GPDs at small skewness $ ξ$. We compute the scattering amplitude of the process, at leading twist and leading order in $α_s$, which is used to estimate its cross-section and linear polarisation asymmetries with respect to the incoming photon, for JLab~12-GeV, COMPASS, future EIC and LHC (in ultra-peripheral collisions) kinematics. We find that the order of magnitude of estimates are sufficiently large for a dedicated experimental analysis to be performed, especially at JLab. We also compare the results from an asymptotic distribution amplitude (DA) to those using a recently proposed \textit{holographic} DA.

description: Nonreciprocal plasmonics enables one-way light propagation at the nanoscale and it is an essential building block for photonics applications. Here, we explore intrinsic nonreciprocity in bulk plasmon propagation based on underlying symmetries. We demonstrate that the interband, as well as the intraband bulk plasmon modes, follow asymmetric dispersion depending on the sign of the wavevector for systems with broken inversion and time-reversal symmetry. We show that the nonreciprocity in the interband plasmon dispersion is dictated by the quantum metric connection, which is a band geometric quantity. The intrinsic nonreciprocity in bulk intraband plasmon dispersion is dictated by the quantum metric dipole and a higher-order `Drude' weight-like term. We corroborate our findings via explicit numerical calculations for the two-dimensional Qi-Wu-Zhang model and demonstrate the existence of intrinsic nonreciprocal intraband and interband plasmon modes in moire systems such as twisted bilayer graphene.

A consistent quantum field theory from dimensional reduction

description: We incorporate the concept of dimensional reduction at high energies within the perturbative formulation of quantum field theory. In this new framework, space and momentum integrations are modified by a weighting function incorporating an effective mass energy associated with the dimensional reduction scale. We quantize the theory within canonical formalism. We then show that it can be made finite in perturbation theory, free of renormalon ambiguities, and with better analytic behavior for infinitesimal coupling constant compared to standard quantum field theory. The new approach reproduces the known results at low energies. One key feature of this class of models is that the coupling constant always reaches a fixed point in the ultraviolet region, making the models ultra-violet complete.

description: We present 870 micron observations of dust continuum emission from the LkCa 15 protoplanetary disk at high angular resolution (with a characteristic scale of 0.25" = 35 AU), obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer and supplemented by slightly lower resolution observations from the Submillimeter Array. We fit these data with simple morphological models to characterize the spectacular ring-like emission structure of this disk. Our analysis indicates that a small amount of 870 micron dust emission (~5 mJy) originates inside a large (40-50 AU radius) low optical depth cavity. This result can be interpreted either in the context of an abrupt decrease by a factor of ~5 in the radial distribution of millimeter-sized dust grains or as indirect evidence for a gap in the disk, in agreement with previous inferences from the unresolved infrared spectrum and scattered light images. A preliminary model focused on the latter possibility suggests the presence of a low-mass (planetary) companion, having properties commensurate with those inferred from the recent discovery of LkCa 15b.

Mass-ratio distribution of contact binary stars

description: The mass ratio $q$ of a contact binary star evolves due to mass transfer, magnetic braking, and thermal relaxation oscillations to small values until it crosses a critical threshold $q_\text{min}$. When that happens, the binary undergoes the tidal Darwin instability, leading to a rapid coalescence of the components and observable brightening of the system. So far, the distribution of $q$ has not been measured on a sufficiently large population of contact binary stars, because the determination of $q$ for a single contact binary usually requires spectroscopy. But as was shown previously, it is possible to infer the mass-ratio distribution of the entire population of contact binaries from the observed distribution of their light curve amplitudes. Employing Bayesian inference, we obtain a sample of contact binary candidates from the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog combined with data from Gaia and estimates of effective temperatures. We assign to each candidate a probability of being a contact binary of either late or early type. Overall, our sample includes about 300 late-type and 200 early-type contact binary candidates. We model the amplitude distribution assuming that mass ratios are described by a power law with an exponent $b$ and a cut off at $q_\text{min}$. We find $q_\text{min}=0.087^{+0.024}_{-0.015}$ for late-type contact binaries with periods longer than 0.3 days. For late-type binaries with shorter periods, we find $q_\text{min}=0.246^{+0.029}_{-0.046}$, but the sample is small. For early type contact binary stars with periods shorter than 1 day, we obtain $q_\text{min}=0.030^{+0.018}_{-0.022}$. These results indicate a dependence of $q_\text{min}$ on the structure of the components and are broadly compatible with previous theoretical predictions. Our method can be easily extended to large samples of contact binaries from TESS and other space-based surveys.
