description: Detergents are amphiphilic molecules that serve as enabling steps for today's world applications. The increasing diversity of the detergentome is key to applications enabled by detergent science. Regardless of the application, the optimal design of detergents is determined empirically, which leads to failed preparations, and raising costs. To facilitate project planning, here we review synthesis strategies that drive the diversification of the detergentome. Synthesis strategies relevant for industrial and academic applications include linear, modular, combinatorial, bio-based, and metric-assisted detergent synthesis. Scopes and limitations of individual synthesis strategies in context with industrial product development and academic research are discussed. Furthermore, when designing detergents, the selection of molecular building blocks, i. e., head, linker, tail, is as important as the employed synthesis strategy. To facilitate the design of safe-to-use and tailor-made detergents, we provide an overview of established head, linker, and tail groups and highlight selected scopes and limitations for applications. It becomes apparent that most recent contributions to the increasing chemical diversity of detergent building blocks originate from the development of detergents for membrane protein studies. The overview of synthesis strategies and molecular blocks will bring us closer to the ability to predictably design and synthesize optimal detergents for challenging future applications.

Lemmus portenkoi Tchernyavsky 1967, Zool. Zh., 46: 12.
Type Locality: Russia, SE Siberia Magadanskaya Oblast, Ostrov Vrangelya (Wrangel Isl).
Vernacular Names: Wrangel Island Lemming.
Distribution: Endemic to Wrangel Isl.
Discussion: Jarrell and Fredga (1993) included portenkoi in L. sibiricus, observing their convention of synonymizing insular taxa with mainland species. However, Chernyavskii et al. (1993) interpreted the cytogenetic and morphological peculiarities of the Wrangel Isl form to reflect an old Palearctic origin and regarded it as a separate species. Although Wrangel Isl lies close to the Chukotskiy mainland, where L. trimucronatus occurs, cytochrome b sequence data instead link the island populations with those farther west that we recognize as L. amurensis (Fedorov et al., 1999 b); the percent sequence divergence between the Wrangel Isl lemming and L. amurensis approximates that distinguishing L. lemmus and L. sibiricus, which together with the information provided by Chernyavskii et al. (1993), lends support to its recognition as a species. Wrangel Isl provides habitat for another endemic lemming, Dicrostonyx vinogradovi (see that account), yet that species is more closely related to Nearctic, not Eurasian, forms according to mitochondrial DNA haplotypes (Federov, 1999; Fedorov et al., 1999 a). During the Pleistocene, the island merged with the Beringian land mass, including the mainland east of the Kolyma River stretching into Alaska; Fedorov et al. (1999 b) developed historical arguments to explain the isolation of brown lemming populations on Wrangel Isl in the course of their range expansions and contractions within Beringia.

description: Several studies emphasized the potential of single and multiple transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) sessions to interfere with auditory cortical activity and to reduce tinnitus loudness. It was the objective of the present study to evaluate the use of high-frequency (hf) tRNS in a one-arm pilot study in patients with chronic tinnitus. Therefore, 30 patients received 10 sessions of high frequency tRNS (100-640 Hz; 2 mA; 20 minutes) over the bilateral temporal cortex. All patients had received rTMS treatment for their tinnitus at least 3 months before tRNS. Primary outcome was treatment response (tinnitus questionnaire reduction of >= 5 points). The trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01965028). Eight patients (27%) responded to tRNS. Exactly the same number of patients had responded before to rTMS, but there were only two "double responders" for both treatments. None of the secondary outcomes (tinnitus numeric rating scales, depressivity, and quality of life) was significant when results were corrected for multiple comparisons. tRNS treatment was accompanied by tolerable side effects but resulted in temporal increases in tinnitus loudness in 20% of the cases (2 drop-outs). Our trial showed that hf-tRNS is feasible for daily treatment in chronic tinnitus. However, summarizing low treatment response, increase of tinnitus loudness in 20% of patients and missing of any significant secondary outcome, the use of hf-tRNS as a general treatment for chronic tinnitus cannot be recommended at this stage. Differences in treatment responders between tRNS and rTMS highlight the need for individualized treatment procedures.

description: This note is concerned with efficient Newton-multigrid finite element method (FEM) solver for multifield nonlinear flow problems. In our approach, for efficient FEM solver, we advantageously use the delicate symbiosis aspects of the problem settings for FEM approximations, and the algorithmic tools to obtain the numerical solutions. We concretize our ideas on thixoviscoplastic flow problems. It is a two-field coupled nonlinear problem. And beside the integrated nonlinearity within momentum and microstructure equations, thixoviscoplastic problems induce a nonlinear two-way coupling. As far as FEM numerical solutions are concerned, we set the problem in a suitable variational form to use the corresponding wellposedness analysis to develop FEM techniques for the solver. Indeed, the wellposedness study is not an intellectual exercise, rather it is the foundation for the approximate thixoviscoplastic problem as well as for the development of an efficient solver. We base our investigations for the solver on our wellposedness and error analysis results of thixoviscoplastic flow problems published in Proc. Appl. Math. Mech. We continue our series, and proceed to develop a monolithic Newton-multigrid thixoviscoplastic solver. The solver is based on Newton's method and geometric multigrid techniques to treat the coupling of the problem. So, we use Local Pressure Schur Complement (LPSC) concept to solve the coupled problem on mesh's elements, and proceed with outer blocks Gauss-Seidel iteration to update the global solutions. Furthermore, we handle the nonlinearity of the problem with the combined adaptive discrete Newton's and multigrid methods. The adaptivity within discrete Newton's method is based on the adaptive step-length control for the discrete differencing in the Jacobian calculations, while the convergence of linear multigrid solver is made to match the convergence requirement of nonlinear solver, accordingly. And the solver's update parameters are solely dependent on the actual convergence rate of the nonlinear problem. We provide the numerical results of solver performance for thixoviscoplastic lid-driven cavity flow.

description: Most antineoplastic chemotherapies eliminate cancer cells through activation of the mitochondria-controlled intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Therein, BAX, BAK, and/or BOK function as the essential pore-forming executioners of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP). The activation threshold of BAX and BAK also correlates inversely with the required strength of an apoptotic stimulus to induce MOMP and thereby effectively determines a cell's readiness to undergo apoptosis. Consequently, the 'gatekeepers' BAX and BAK emerged as therapeutic targets, but functional or genetic loss renders BAX/BAK-targeting strategies prone to fail. Here, we show that the small molecule Raptinal overcomes this limitation by triggering cytochrome c release in a BAX/BAK/BOK-independent manner. Raptinal exerts a dual cytotoxic effect on cancer cells by rapid activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and simultaneous shutdown of mitochondrial function. Together with its efficacy to eliminate cancer cells in vivo, Raptinal could be useful in difficult-to-treat cancer entities harboring defects in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway.

"zpt_y4_y5.txt" of "A precise measurement of the Z-boson double-differential transverse momentum and rapidity distributions in the full phase space of the decay leptons with the ATLAS experiment at $\sqrt s$ = 8 TeV"
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: HEPData
Year: 2024

description: Correlation for $p_T$ cross section between 1.6 < |y| < 2.0 and 2.0 < |y| < 2.4
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the $Z$ boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. The results, based on a total of 15.3 million $Z$-boson decays to electron and muon pairs, extend and improve a previous measurement of the full set of angular coefficients describing $Z$-boson decay. The double-differential cross-section distributions in $Z$-boson transverse momentum $p_T$ and rapidity $y$ are measured in the pole region, defined as $80 < m_{\ell\ell} < 100$ GeV, over the range $|y| < 3.6$. The total uncertainty of the normalised cross-section measurements in the peak region of the $p_T$ distribution is dominated by statistical uncertainties over the full range and increases as a function of rapidity from $0.5-1.0$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $2-7$% at higher rapidities. The results for the rapidity-dependent transverse momentum distributions are compared to state-of-the-art QCD predictions, which combine in the best cases approximate N$^4$LL resummation with N$^3$LO fixed-order perturbative calculations. The differential rapidity distributions integrated over $p_T$ are even more precise, with accuracies from $0.2-0.3$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $0.4-0.9$% at higher rapidities, and are compared to fixed-order QCD predictions using the most recent parton distribution functions. The agreement between data and predictions is quite good in most cases.

description: Lemmus sibiricus (Kerr 1792)
[Mus] sibiricus Kerr 1792, in: Linnaeus, Anim. Kingdom: 241.
Type Locality: Russia, Yamalo-Nenetskaya Nats. Okr., between Polar Ural Mtns and lower course of Ob River.
Vernacular Names: Siberian Brown Lemming.
Synonyms: Lemmus bungei Vinogradov 1924; Lemmus kittlitzi (Brandt 1845); Lemmus kittlitzi (Middendorf 1853); Lemmus minor (Pallas 1811); Lemmus migratorius (Illiger 1815); Lemmus novosibiricus Vinogradov 1924; Lemmus obensis Brants 1827; Lemmus paulus G. M. Allen 1914.
Distribution: Palearctic tundra landscapes—from Arkhangel region on eastern border of White Sea, W Russia, eastward to W border of the Lena River.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: This species was formerly defined broadly to encompass not only most Palearctic forms but also North American taxa here retained as L. trimucronatus (see next). Within Eurasia, the geographic range was thought to extend eastward beyond the Lena River to the Kolymskaya region, E Siberia (e.g., Jarell and Fredga, 1993); however, phylogeographic patterns based on cytochrome b sequences substantiate a pronounced division between samples west (L. sibiricus) and east (L. amurensis, see above) of the Lena River (Fedorov et al., 1999 b), a frontier coincident with significant haplotype discontinuities among samples of Dicrostonyx (Fedorov et al., 1999 a). Fedorov et al. (1999 b) interpreted the level of sequence divergence to indicate cladogenesis prior to the last glaciation and implicated the formation of montane and continental ice sheets near the Lena River as the historical barrier driving this divergence. Lemmus sibiricus proper is genetically closely related to L. lemmus and possibly referrable to that species (Fedorov et al., 1999 b; Jarrell and Fredga, 1993).

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common solid tumors worldwide, characterized by clinical aggressiveness, resistance to conventional chemotherapy, and high lethality. Consequently, there is an urgent need to better delineate the molecular pathogenesis of HCC to develop new preventive and therapeutic strategies against this deadly disease. Noticeably, emerging evidence indicates that proteins involved in lipid biosynthesis are important mediators along the development and progression of HCC in humans and rodents. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of: (a) The pathogenetic relevance of lipogenic proteins involved in liver carcinogenesis, with a special emphasis on the master fatty acid regulator, fatty acid synthase (FASN); (b) The molecular mechanisms responsible for unrestrained activation of FASN and related fatty acid biosynthesis in HCC; (c) The findings in experimental mouse models of liver cancer and their possible clinical implications; (d) The existing potential therapies targeting FASN. A consistent body of data indicates that elevated levels of lipogenic proteins, including FASN, characterize human hepatocarcinogenesis and are predictive of poor prognosis of HCC patients. Pharmacological or genetic blockade of FASN is highly detrimental for the growth of HCC cells in both in vitro and in vivo models. In conclusion, FASN is involved in the molecular pathogenesis of HCC, where it plays a pivotal role both in tumor onset and progression. Thus, targeted inhibition of FASN and related lipogenesis could be a potentially relevant treatment for human HCC.

description: Numerically robust algorithmic formulations suitable for rate-independent crystal plasticity are presented. They cover classic local models as well as gradient-enhanced theories in which the gradients of the plastic slips are incorporated by means of the micromorphic approach. The elaborated algorithmic formulations rely on the underlying variational structure of (associative) crystal plasticity. To be more precise and in line with socalled variational constitutive updates or incremental energy minimization principles, an incrementally defined energy derived from the underlying time-continuous constitutive model represents the starting point of the novel numerically robust algorithmic formulations. This incrementally defined potential allows to compute all variables jointly as minimizers of this energy. While such discrete variational constitutive updates are not new in general, they are considered here in order to employ powerful techniques from non-linear constrained optimization theory in order to compute robustly the aforementioned minimizers. The analyzed prototype models are based on (1) nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) functions as well as on (2) the augmented Lagrangian formulation. Numerical experiments show the numerical robustness of the resulting algorithmic formulations. Furthermore, it is shown that the novel algorithmic ideas can also be integrated into classic, non-variational, return-mapping schemes.

Teachers’ competences, including professional knowledge (e.g., technological-pedagogical content knowledge; TPCK), attitudes (e.g., regarding the usefulness of digital collaboration), and their motivational orientations (e.g., intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy beliefs), are essential prerequisites for digital collaboration within the teaching staff and for teaching students how to learn collaboratively using digital media. Teacher education at universities plays a crucial role in the development of teachers’ professional competences, yet little is known about how teachers’ digital collaboration competences can be fostered effectively. Hence, the research aim was to investigate (a) the development of pre-service teachers’ TPCK, attitudes, and motivational orientations toward digital collaboration in general, (b) analyze the development of their intentions to use digital collaboration in the future, and (c) evaluate the effectiveness of interventions focused on digitally collaborative learning. In this multi-cohort quasi-experimental study with pre-post design, N = 439 students participated either in intervention group (IG) courses (nIG = 351) explicitly fostering digital collaboration or in regular university courses without explicit fostering of digital collaboration, who served as a control group (CG; nCG = 88). Results of conditional latent three-level growth models indicate a positive development of pre-service teachers’ TPCK and their intentions to use digital collaboration. This research contributes to the highly relevant question of how to prepare teachers for increasingly digitalized teaching and learning settings in school.

description: Background
Heart failure induced cachexia is highly prevalent. Insights into disease progression are lacking.

Methods
Early state of left ventricular dysfunction (ELVD) and symptomatic systolic heart failure (HF) were both induced in rabbits by tachypacing. Tissue of limb muscle (LM) was subjected to histologic assessment. For unbiased characterisation of early and late myopathy, a proteomic approach followed by computational pathway-analyses was performed and combined with pathway-focused gene expression analyses. Specimen of thoracic diaphragm (TD) served as control for inactivity-induced skeletal muscle alterations. In a subsequent study, inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-system and neprilysin (RAS-/NEP) was compared to placebo.

Results
HF was accompanied by loss of protein content (8.7±0.4% vs. 7.0±0.5%, mean±SEM, control vs. HF, p<0.01) and a slow-to-fast fibre type switch, establishing hallmarks of cachexia. In ELVD, the enzymatic set-up of LM and TD shifted to a catabolic state. A disturbed malate-aspartate shuttle went well with increased enzymes of glycolysis, forming the enzymatic basis for enforced anoxic energy regeneration. The histological findings and the pathway analysis of metabolic results drew the picture of suppressed PGC-1α signalling, linked to the natriuretic peptide system. In HF, natriuretic peptide signalling was desensitised, as confirmed by an increase in the ratio of serum BNP to tissue cGMP (57.0±18.6pg/ml/nM/ml vs. 165.8±16.76pg/ml/nM/ml, p<0.05) and a reduced expression of natriuretic peptide receptor-A. In HF, combined RAS-/NEP-inhibition prevented from loss in protein content (8.7±0.3% vs. 6.0±0.6% vs. 8.3±0.9%, Baseline vs. HF-Placebo vs. HF-RAS/NEP, p<0.05 Baseline vs. HF-Placebo, p = 0.7 Baseline vs. HF-RAS/NEP).

Conclusions
Tachypacing-induced heart failure entails a generalised myopathy, preceding systolic dysfunction. The characterisation of “pre-cachectic” state and its progression is feasible. Early enzymatic alterations of LM depict a catabolic state, rendering LM prone to futile substrate metabolism. A combined RAS-/NEP-inhibition ameliorates cardiac-induced myopathy independent of systolic function, which could be linked to stabilised natriuretic peptide/cGMP/PGC-1α signalling.

description: Employees perceiving their organizational culture as innovative increase their output and enhance company performance. A potential approach to improving employees' perception of an innovation culture involves implementing gamified competition in the workplace. Despite the numerous studies on gamified competition, its relationship with employees' perceived innovation culture and the role of their gameful experience remains unclear. On the basis of affordance theory, we explain how gamified competition increases employees' perceived innovation culture (inter-perception) through the mechanism of gameful experiences (intra-perception). We survey a sample of 382 sales employees from German credit institutions who work with a gamified sales application. With the use of structural equation modelling, we find that gamified competition is positively related to perceived innovation culture. However, when including the mediator, results show that employees' gameful experience fully mediates the relationship between gamified competition and perceived innovation culture. Our study underlines the need for research to shift to an experience-oriented employee perspective that will enable a better understanding of the impact a gamified competition has on employees' perceptions. Our findings can help managers to design, predict, and adapt gamified competition in the workplace.

description: DNA G-quadruplexes (GQs) are of great interest due to their involvement in crucial biological processes such as telomerase maintenance and gene expression. Furthermore, they are reported as catalytically active DNAzymes and building blocks in bio-nanotechnology. GQs exhibit remarkable structural diversity and conformational heterogeneity, necessitating precise and reliable tools to unravel their structure-function relationships. Here, we present insights into the structure and conformational flexibility of a unimolecular GQ with high spatial resolution via electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments combined with Cu(II) and fluorine labeling. These findings showcase the successful application of the 19F-ENDOR methodology at 34 GHz, overcoming the limitations posed by the complexity and scarcity of higher-frequency spectrometers. Importantly, our approach retains both sensitivity and orientational resolution. This integrated study not only enhances our understanding of GQs but also expands the methodological toolbox for studying other macromolecules.

description: Selection of appropriate housekeeping genes is essential for the validity of data normalization in reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Synovial fibroblasts (SF) play a mediating role in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis, but there is no information on reliable housekeeping genes available. Therefore the goal of this study was to identify a set of reliable housekeeping genes suitable for studies of mechanical loading on SF from healthy and OA patients. Nine genes were evaluated towards expression stability and ranked according their relative stability determined by four different mathematical procedures (geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and comparative ΔCq). We observed that RPLP0 (ribosomal protein, large, P0) and EEF1A1 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1) turned out to be the genes with the most stable expression in SF from non-OA or OA patients treated with or without mechanical loading. According to geNorm two genes are sufficient for normalization throughout. Expression of one tested target gene varied considerably, if normalized to different candidate housekeeping genes. Our study provides a tool for accurate and valid housekeeping gene selection in gene expression experiments on SF from healthy and OA patients with and without mechanical loading in consistent with the MIQE (Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments) guidelines and additionally demonstrates the impact of proper housekeeping gene selection on the expression of the gene of interest.

description: The potential of miRNA-638 holds promising implications for ischemic stroke risk assessment. Preliminary findings reveal its role in vascular smooth muscle cells and implication on proliferative vascular diseases. This work introduces the first DNA-based lateral flow test for miRNA-638 detection. Unlike conventional PCR-based methods, this innovation marries sensitivity with accessibility, negating the need for specialized personnel and costly equipment. Employing a lateral flow chromatographic reader for precise quantification, we stablished our detection limit at 0.14 nM of miRNA-638. This advancement not only surmounts current limitations, but also streamlines the diagnostic process (response is obtained in less than 15 min), potentially revolutionizing the future of ischemic stroke risk assessment. The presented assay represents a significant leap towards democratizing miRNA analysis, marking a milestone in the field of biosensors and bioelectronics.

description: Nosocomial infections have become a serious threat in our times and are getting more difficult to handle due to increasing development of resistances in bacteria. In this light, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), which is known to effectively inactivate microorganisms, may be a promising alternative for application in the fields of dentistry and dermatology. CAPs are partly ionised gases, which operate at low temperature and are composed of electrons, ions, excited atoms and molecules, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In this study, the effect of CAP generated from ambient air was investigated against Enterococcus faecalis, grown on agar plates or as biofilms cultured for up to 72 h. CAP reduced the colony forming units (CFU) on agar plates by > 7 log10 steps. Treatment of 24 h old biofilms of E. faecalis resulted in CFU-reductions by ≥ 3 log10 steps after CAP treatment for 5 min and by ≥ 5 log10 steps after CAP treatment for 10 min. In biofilm experiments, chlorhexidine (CHX) and UVC radiation served as positive controls and were only slightly more effective than CAP. There was no damage of cytoplasmic membranes upon CAP treatment as shown by spectrometric measurements for release of nucleic acids. Thus, membrane damage seems not to be the primary mechanism of action for CAP towards E. faecalis. Overall, CAP showed pronounced antimicrobial efficacy against E. faecalis on agar plates as well as in biofilms similar to positive controls CHX or UVC.

description: Vietnam is a country highly vulnerable to climate change. Specifically, climate change has seriously impacted all aspects of Vietnam’s economic and social life, especially agricultural production. In this article, we focus on analyzing the current situation and the impacts of climate change on agricultural production and food security in Vietnam, especially in the Mekong River Delta (MRD) region. Vietnam’s climate change scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP 8.5) have warned of serious increases in temperature, rainfall, and sea level rises for the MRD in coming times. This will lead to a risk of flooding in nearly 50% of the region’s area and will seriously affect agricultural production in many aspects such as soil quality degradation, scarcity of water resources, increased droughts and floods, reduced crop productivity, and so on. These impacts will reduce Vietnam’s food supply capacity, but do not compromise national food security from a short-term perspective. Faced with this situation, the Government of Vietnam has implemented many comprehensive measures to transform agriculture towards ecology, sustainability, and low carbon emissions, with the goal of green growth and neutral carbon emissions by 2050. In particular, the focus is on combining nature-based solutions with the application of modern science and technology in agricultural production, raising awareness and the response capacity of domestic people, with international cooperation in addressing climate change issues.
