description: Benzene, toluene and xylene have strong blood toxicities and carcinogenic effects. Benzene is further metabolized to phenyl mercapturic acid (PMA), toluene and xylene also generate benzyl mercapturic acid (BMA) in human urine. While, cigarette smoke is rich in carcinogens such as benzene and toluene, therefore, if the smokers in the workplace may interfere with the correct assessment of the source of benzene and benzene series. Some metabolites, such as PMA, BMA, N-acetyl-S-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl-L-cysteine (DHBMA), N-acetyl-S-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-propenyl)-L-cysteine (MHBMA-1) and (R,S)-N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxy-3-butenyl)-L-cysteine (MHBMA-2) were simultaneously determined so as to confirm whether the exposure to benzene series comes from the workplace or from the external environment such as smoking. A new β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase (EACDP) was prepared. After the separation conditions were optimized, a new LC-MS/MS method on EACDP column for the determination of common chiral and achiral metabolites in urine of human exposed to benzene series was established. The excellent separations of the above metabolites were achieved, in which the high resolutions of PMA, BMA and MHBMA-2 enantiomers were up to 1.62, 2.23 and 1.79, respectively, within 50 min under reversed-phase chromatography. Moreover, sensitive and selective multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was also employed. The detection limits (LODs) of enantiomers were all less than 0.366，0.467, 0.246 and 0.153 μg/L for PMA, BMA, DHBMA, MHBMA, separately. The averaged recoveries of enantiomers were in the range of 78~93% for PMA, 80~116% for BMA, 86~102% for DHBMA and 80~92% for MHBMA. Also, the method had good reproducibilities. By simultaneous measuring the contents of four biomarkers PMA, BMA, DHBMA and MHBMA in human urine metabolites, the non-smoking population could be more accurately estimated, and toluene exposure also has a certain degree of harm to the body, so as to make a more reasonable evaluation of the people exposed to benzene series in the workplace.

description: Several methods have been proposed to approximate the sum of correlated lognormal RVs. However the accuracy of each method relies highly on the region of the resulting distribution being examined, and the individual lognormal parameters, i.e., mean and variance. There is no such method which can provide the needed accuracy for all cases. This paper propose a universal yet very simple approximation method for the sum of correlated lognormals based on log skew normal approximation. The main contribution on this work is to propose an analytical method for log skew normal parameters estimation. The proposed method provides highly accurate approximation to the sum of correlated lognormal distributions over the whole range of dB spreads for any correlation coefficient. Simulation results show that our method outperforms all previously proposed methods and provides an accuracy within 0.01 dB for all cases.

description: Bacillus subtilis HLZ-68 can produce l-amino acid oxidase (l-AAO), and dl-arginine can be degraded asymmetrically by suspending the wet bacterial biomass in the degradation liquid. By adding oxygen-vectors to the fermentation medium, the collected amount of wet bacterial biomass can be increased. Taking n-dodecane, n-hexadecane, oleic acid, paraffin and n-hexane as oxygen-vectors, the optimal oxygen-vector was 1.2% (v/v) oleic acid. The wet weight biomass increased by 66.83% and the activity of l-AAO in the fermentation broth increased by 38.88% compared with those before the addition of oxygen-vector. The standard sample dl-arginine was derivatized by phenyl isothiocyanate, and then subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the obtained peak area and arginine content were used as standard curves to measure the dl-arginine. The content of d-arginine and l-arginine in the initial degradation solution was 50% each, and the bacterial cells were added to the initial degradation solution of dl-arginine. After 21 h of reaction, l-arginine was completely degraded, leaving 47% of d-arginine. d-alanine was easily extracted from the reaction solution using cation-exchange resin, after centrifugation, decolourization, concentration and vacuum drying, and the chemical and optical purity of the extracted d-arginine were 92.68% and 97.46%, respectively.

In this paper we show that this claim is connected to a strong version of Linnik's Theorem, which is yet unproved. We also study a generalization on which composite numbers may appear depending on the initial term.

description: Can one find an integer $g$ and a polynomial $f$, such that $g$ is a primitive root for many consecutive (different) prime values assumed by $f$? Moree considered this problem in 2007 with computational assistence from Gallot and concentrated on the case where $f$ is quadratic. Recently Akbary and Scholten (Math. Comp., to appear) extended this work and also considered the case where $f$ is linear and cubic. In their paper they improved on a record of the authors in the quadratic case. However, mistakingly Moree had not mentioned in the 2007 paper the then record (from 2006), but only an older record. The 2006 record (due to Gallot) actually exceeds the 'record' from Akbary and Scholten. Aside from pointing this out, the goal of the note is to attend people to the problem mentioned in the first sentence of the abstract and point out some connections with recent spectacular work of Maynard and highly interesting work of Pollack.

Decays of a neutral particle with zero spin and arbitrary CP parity into two off-mass-shell Z bosons

description: Effects are investigated of CP symmetry violation in the decay of a scalar particle X (the Higgs boson) into two off-mass-shell Z bosons both decaying into a fermion-antifermion pair, $X \to Z_1^* \, Z_2^* \to f_1 \bar{f_1} \, f_2 \bar{f_2}$. The most general form of the amplitude of the transition $X \to Z_1^* Z_2^*$, wherein the boson X may not have definite CP parity, is considered. Limits of applicability of the narrow-Z-width approximation used when obtaining differential widths of the decay under consideration are determined. Various observables connected with the structure of the amplitude of the decay $X \to Z_1^* Z_2^*$ are studied. These observables are analyzed in the Standard Model, as well as in models conceding indefinite CP parity of the Higgs boson. An experimental measurement at the LHC of angular and invariant mass distributions of the decay $X \to Z_1^* Z_2^* \to f_1 \bar{f_1} f_2 \bar{f_2}$ can give information about the CP properties of the Higgs boson and its interaction with the Z boson.

description: We compute the equivariant bordism of free oriented $(\mathbb{Z}/p)^n$-manifolds as a module over $Ω_*^{SO}$, when $p$ is an odd prime. We show, among others, that this module is canonically isomorphic to a direct sum of suspensions of multiple tensor products of $Ω^{SO}_*(B \mathbb{Z}/p)$, and that it is generated by products of standard lens spaces. This considerably improves previous calculations by various authors. Our approach relies on the investigation of the submodule of the Brown-Peterson homology of $B (\mathbb{Z}/p)^n$ generated by elements coming from proper subgroups of $(\mathbb{Z}/p)^n$. We apply our results to the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for atoral manifolds whose fundamental groups are elementary abelian of odd order.

description: The heating mechanism of a corona above an accretion disk in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is still unknown. One possible mechanism is magnetic reconnection heating requiring energy equipartition between magnetic energy and gas energy in the disk. Here, we investigate the expected observed properties in radio band from such a magnetized corona. A magnetized corona can generate synchrotron radiation since a huge amount of electrons exists. Although most of radiation would be absorbed by synchrotron self-absorption, high-frequency end of synchrotron emission can escape from a corona and appears at the sub-mm range. If only thermal electrons exist in a corona, the expected flux from nearby Seyferts is below the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA) sensitivity. However, if non-thermal electrons coexist in a corona, ALMA can measure the non-thermal tail of the synchrotron radiation from a corona. Such non-thermal population is naturally expected to exist if the corona is heated by magnetic reconnections. Future ALMA observations will directly probe the coronal magnetic field strength and the existence of non-thermal electrons in coronae of AGNs.

The abundance of satellites depends strongly on the morphology of the host galaxy

description: Using the spectroscopic catalogue of the Sloan Digital Survey Data Release 10, we have explored the abundance of satellites around a sample of 254 massive (10^11< M_star < 2 x 10^11 M_sun) local (z < 0.025) galaxies. We have divided our sample into four morphological groups (E, S0, Sa, Sb/c). We find that the number of satellites with M_star > 10^9 M_sun and R < 300 kpc depends drastically on the morphology of the central galaxy. The average number of satellites per galaxy host (N_Sat/N_Host) down to a mass ratio of 1:100 is 4.5 +/- 0.3 for E hosts, 2.6 +/- 0.2 for S0, 1.5 +/- 0.1 for Sa and 1.2 +/- 0.2 for Sb/c. The amount of stellar mass enclosed by the satellites around massive E-type galaxies is a factor of 2, 4 and 5 larger than the mass in the satellites of S0, Sa and Sb/c types, respectively. If these satellites would eventually infall into the host galaxies, for all the morphological types, the merger channel will be largely dominated by satellites with a mass ratio satellite-host $μ$ > 0.1. The fact that massive elliptical galaxies have a significant larger number of satellites than massive spirals could point out that elliptical galaxies inhabit heavier dark matter haloes than equally massive galaxies with later morphological types. If this hypothesis is correct, the dark matter haloes of late-type spiral galaxies are a factor ~2-3 more efficient on producing galaxies with the same stellar mass than those dark matter haloes of early-type galaxies.

description: Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) is becoming an important cyber-physical system application given the ubiquitous availability of mobile phones. With the need to operate in unprepared environments, accurate and robust registration and tracking has become an important research problem to solve. In fact, when MAR is used for tele-interactive applications involving large distances, say from an accident site to insurance office, tracking at both the ends is desirable and further it is essential to appropriately fuse inertial and vision sensors data. In this paper, we present results and discuss some insights gained in marker-less tracking during the development of a prototype pertaining to an example use case related to breakdown or damage assessment of a vehicle. The novelty of this paper is in bringing together different components and modules with appropriate enhancements towards a complete working system.

description: We investigate scalar-tensor and bi-scalar-tensor modified theories of gravity that can alleviate the $H_0$ tension. In the first class of theories we show that choosing particular models with shift-symmetric friction term we are able to alleviate the tension by obtaining smaller effective Newton's constant at intermediate times, a feature that cannot be easily obtained in modified gravity. In the second class of theories, which involve two extra propagating degrees of freedom, we show that the $H_0$ tension can be alleviated, and the mechanism behind it is the phantom behavior of the effective dark-energy equation-of-state parameter. Hence, scalar-tensor and bi-scalar-tensor theories have the capability of alleviating $H_0$ tension with both known sufficient late-time mechanisms.

description: When H, the lightest, smallest and most abundant atom in the universe, makes its way into a high-strength alloy (>650 MPa), the material's load-bearing capacity is abruptly lost. This phenomenon, known as H embrittlement, was responsible for the catastrophic and unpredictable failure of large engineering structures in service. The inherent antagonism between high strength requirements and H embrittlement susceptibility strongly hinders the design of lightweight yet reliable structural components needed for carbon-free hydrogen-propelled industries and reduced-emission transportation solutions. Inexpensive and scalable alloying and microstructural solutions that enable both, an intrinsically high resilience to H and high mechanical performance, must be found. Here we introduce a counterintuitive strategy to exploit typically undesired chemical heterogeneity within the material's microstructure that allows the local enhancement of crack resistance and local H trapping, thereby enhancing the resistance against H embrittlement. We deploy this approach to a lightweight, high-strength steel and produce a high-number density Mn-rich zones dispersed within the microstructure. These solute-rich buffer regions allow for local micro-tuning of the phase stability, arresting H-induced microcracks thus interrupting the H-assisted damage evolution chain, regardless of how and when H is introduced and also regardless of the underlying embrittling mechanisms. A superior H embrittlement resistance, increased by a factor of two compared to a reference material with a homogeneous solute distribution within each microstructure constituent, is achieved at no expense of the material's strength and ductility.

description: The seroprevalence of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and the incidence of endemic Kaposi sarcoma (KS) overlap with regions of malaria endemicity in sub-Saharan Africa. Multiple studies have shown an increased risk of KSHV seroconversion in children from high malaria compared to low malaria regions; however, the impact of acute episodes of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) malaria on KSHV’s biphasic life cycle and lytic reactivation has not been determined. Here, we examined KSHV serological profiles and viral loads in 134 children with acute malaria and 221 healthy children from high malaria regions in Kisumu, as well as 77 healthy children from low malaria regions in Nandi. We assayed KSHV, Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), and P. falciparum malaria antibody responses in these three by multiplexed Luminex assay. We confirmed that KSHV seroprevalence was significantly associated with malaria endemicity (OR = 1.95, 1.18–3.24 95% CI, p = 0.01) with 71–77% seropositivity in high-malaria (Kisumu) compared to 28% in low-malaria (Nandi) regions. Furthermore, KSHV serological profiles during acute malaria episodes were distinct from age-matched non-malaria-infected children from the same region. Paired IgG levels also varied after malaria treatment, with significantly higher anti-ORF59 at day 0 but elevated ORF38, ORF73, and K8.1 at day 3. Acute malaria episodes is characterized by perturbation of KSHV latency in seropositive children, providing further evidence that malaria endemicity contributes to the observed increase in endemic KS incidence in sub-Saharan Africa.

description: In the absence of decay, the conditional dynamics for an opensystem is often describable by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. This study investigates spin squeezing (SS) in non-Hermitian one-axis twisting (OAT) model. Somewhat surprisingly, SS close to the limit of Hermitian two-axis counter twisting (TACT) Hamiltonian is achievable for some parameters, which significantly improves upon the optimal value realizable by Hermitian OAT model. The drawback is like with all conditional schemes, it takes on average longer time to evolve into steady state, and the probability of no decay or success decreases as number of atoms (spins) increases. The result above for steady state SS in non-Hermitian OAT Hamiltonian is thus limited to small systems. For other parameter regimes, however, desirable SS arrives dynamically before steady state is achieved, with greatly shortened evolution time and enhanced probability of success, while still remain significantly improved over the limit of Hermitian OAT.

description: Since Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first observed microbes, we have come to learn that life on our planet includes not only the macroscopic lifeforms visible to the unaided eye that Charles Darwin studied but also an immense diversity of microbes (Fig 1). We have learned that microorganisms influence nearly every aspect of human existence with beneficial or detrimental effects. With their pivotal roles in biomass conversion, biogeochemical cycles, photosynthesis, and in promoting plant growth, life on this planet ultimately depends on the activities of microorganisms. On the other hand, microorganisms are the etiological agents of many diseases in humans, animals, and plants, causing massive economic losses yearly. Microorganisms also contribute significantly to the production of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 and, thus, contribute to global warming. In the past decade, we have also learned that microorganisms inhabiting the human body, i.e., the human microbiome, have profound effects on human physiology. Not to forget, some of our most delicious food products and beverages get their distinct qualities from microorganisms, and the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry relies heavily on microbes. In terms of research, many technological breakthroughs in molecular biology, such as DNA cloning, PCR, and CRISPR-Cas technologies have their origin in microbes. Therefore, research in microbiology is as important now as it ever was.

description: Most of the existing point-to-mesh distance query solvers, such as Proximity Query Package (PQP), Embree and Fast Closest Point Query (FCPW), are based on bounding volume hierarchy (BVH). The hierarchical organizational structure enables one to eliminate the vast majority of triangles that do not help find the closest point. In this paper, we develop a totally different algorithmic paradigm, named P2M, to speed up point-to-mesh distance queries. Our original intention is to precompute a KD tree (KDT) of mesh vertices to approximately encode the geometry of a mesh surface containing vertices, edges and faces. However, it is very likely that the closest primitive to the query point is an edge e (resp., a face f), but the KDT reports a mesh vertex \u{psion} instead. We call \u{psion} an interceptor of e (resp., f). The main contribution of this paper is to invent a simple yet effective interception inspection rule and an efficient flooding interception inspection algorithm for quickly finding out all the interception pairs. Once the KDT and the interception table are precomputed, the query stage proceeds by first searching the KDT and then looking up the interception table to retrieve the closest geometric primitive. Statistics show that our query algorithm runs many times faster than the state-of-the-art solvers.

description: We report on a ptychographical coherent diffractive imaging experiment in the water window with focused soft X-rays at $500~\mathrm{eV}$. An X-ray beam with high degree of coherence was selected for ptychography at the P04 beamline of the PETRA III synchrotron radiation source. We measured the beam coherence with the newly developed non-redundant array method. A pinhole $2.6~\mathrm{μm}$ in size selected the coherent part of the beam and was used for ptychographic measurements of a lithographically manufactured test sample and fossil diatom. The achieved resolution was $53~\mathrm{nm}$ for the test sample and only limited by the size of the detector. The diatom was imaged at a resolution better than $90~\mathrm{nm}$.

description: We analyse the structure of Yukawa couplings in local SU(5) F-theory models with $E_8$ enhancement. In this setting the $E_8$ symmetry is broken down to SU(5) by a 7-brane configuration described by T-branes, all the Yukawa couplings are generated in the vicinity of a point and only one family of quarks and leptons is massive at tree-level. The other two families obtain their masses when non-perturbative effects are taken into account, being hierarchically lighter than the third family. However, and contrary to previous results, we find that this hierarchy of fermion masses is not always appropriate to reproduce measured data. We find instead that different T-brane configurations breaking $E_8$ to SU(5) give rise to distinct hierarchical patterns for the holomorphic Yukawa couplings. Only some of these patterns allow to fit the observed fermion masses with reasonable local model parameter values, adding further constraints to the construction of F-theory GUTs. We consider an $E_8$ model where such appropriate hierarchy is realised and compute its physical Yukawas, showing that realistic charged fermions masses can indeed be obtained in this case.

description: Three complexes based on methyl-pyrimidine-2-thione, 5-methyl-5,8,9,10-tetrahydro-5,9methanopyrimido[5,4-e][1, 3]diazocine-2,7-dithiol (mtmdd) (1), and Ni(mpymt)2(N2H4)·H2O (2) and [Cd(mpymt)2]∞ (3) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis reveals that 1 is generated from an in situ translation of mpymt. In 2, two Ni(mpymt)2 fragments were joined into a dinuclear complex by two NH2–NH2 molecules. Compound 3 is a two-dimensional Cd coordination polymer constructed by Cd2(mpymt)2 SBUs and mpymt anions. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement of 2 revealed strong antiferromagnetic interactions between nickel magnetic centers. The fluorescent properties of 1 and 3 were investigated in the solid state.
TESS light curves of cataclysmic variables -- III -- More superhump systems among old novae and novalike variables

description: Continuing previous work on the identification and characterization of periodic and non-periodic variations in long and almost uninterrupted high cadence light curves of cataclysmic variables observed by the TESS mission, the results on 23 novalike variables and old novae out of sample of 127 suchsystems taken from the Ritter & Kolb catalogue are presented. All of them exhibit at least at some epochs either positive or negative (or both) superhumps, and in 19 of them superhumps were detected for the first time. The basic properties of the superhumps such as their periods, their appearance and disappearance, and their waveforms are explored. Together with recent reports in the literature, this elevates the number of known novalike variables and old novae with superhumps by more than 50%. The previous census of superhumps and the Stolz-Schoembs relation for these stars are updated. Attention is drawn to superhump properties in some stars which behave differently from the average, as well as to positive superhumps in high mass ratio systems which defy theory. As a byproduct, the orbital periods of 13 stars are either improved or newly measured, correcting previously reported erroneous values.
Using Quantum Computers to Speed Up Dynamic Testing of Software

description: Software under test can be analyzed dynamically, while it is being executed, to find defects. However, as the number and possible values of input parameters increase, the cost of dynamic testing rises. This paper examines whether quantum computers (QCs) can help speed up the dynamic testing of programs written for classical computers (CCs). To accomplish this, an approach is devised involving the following three steps: (1) converting a classical program to a quantum program; (2) computing the number of inputs causing errors, denoted by $K$, using a quantum counting algorithm; and (3) obtaining the actual values of these inputs using Grover's search algorithm. This approach can accelerate exhaustive and non-exhaustive dynamic testing techniques. On the CC, the computational complexity of these techniques is $O(N)$, where $N$ represents the count of combinations of input parameter values passed to the software under test. In contrast, on the QC, the complexity is $O(\varepsilon^{-1} \sqrt{N/K})$, where $\varepsilon$ is a relative error of measuring $K$. The paper illustrates how the approach can be applied and discusses its limitations. Moreover, it provides a toy example executed on a simulator and an actual QC. This paper may be of interest to academics and practitioners as the approach presented in the paper may serve as a starting point for exploring the use of QC for dynamic testing of CC code.

description: Extending the notion of projective means we first generalize an invariance identity related to the Carlson log given in a recent paper of P. Kahlig and J. Matkowski, and then, more generally, given a bivariate symmetric, homogeneous and monotone mean M, we give explicit formula for a rich family of pairs of M-complementary means. We prove that this method cannot be extended for higher dimension. Some examples are given and two open questions are proposed.

description: Na história do mobiliário, as mesas são importantes tipologias de bens móveis utilitários, que podem apresentar diversas técnicas e materiais construtivos, bem como refletir aspectos estilísticos, sendo objetos que podem atingir o status de interesse cultural e de preservação. Porém boa parte desses objetos são alterados ou substituídos por outros móveis novos, seja por apresentarem sinais de deterioração ou por serem classificados como obsoletos ou fora de moda. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar os procedimentos de documentação e caracterização de uma mesa de apoio lateral em estilo neoclássico, que seria descartada por seus antigos proprietários, mas foi resgatada para fins de conservação-restauração. Por meio de técnicas analíticas como a microscopia ótica, fluorescência de raios-x portátil, medição de brilho e colorimetria aliada ao levantamento cadastral e mapeamento dos processos de alteração, apresenta-se a documentação de aporte para os procedimentos a serem empregados para a restauração da mesa que é composta por três materiais: madeira na base e pernas; metal na borda do tampo e no acabamento dos pés; e pedra no tampo curvilíneo. Os resultados da documentação e caracterização dos materiais e dos processos de alteração identificados representam uma etapa primordial para uma atuação segura e definição de plano de ação dos procedimentos de conservação-restauração do bem móvel.
