description: Housing affordability is a multifaceted problem, however there is a disconnect between the socio-economic approaches of academia and government, with the fragmented, construction-oriented approaches of housebuilding. The compartmentalisation of the issues within and across both academia and industry results in disparate efforts to improve affordability. Instead, holistic approaches integrating many fields of knowledge are required to address these issues. This thesis builds the case for a new knowledge visualisation framework called the Affordability Atlas, which facilitates the transfer of knowledge, mapping innovative and holistic approaches to addressing housing affordability via meaningful collaboration between academia and industry.

description: We report new radio imaging of the large scale radio structure of M87 with the VLA at 90 cm. These new images show the complex structure of the radio emission more clearly than previous attempts, some of which date back to the 1940's. The images suggest that the outward flow from the M87 nucleus extends well beyond the 2 kpc jet. Two ``bubbles'' of synchrotron emission appear to be inflated by this flow. A simple model of the emission, combined with our knowledge of the inner jet, suggests that the energy input into this region from the M87 nucleus exceeds the energy being radiated away as X-rays. This argues that the region within 40 kpc of the center of M87 is currently dominated by energy input from the M87 nucleus. The gas in the region is expanding, not flowing inward as is envisioned in the cooling flow model.

description: Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) have been utilized as an important class of smart actuator materials. However, the modest actuation mechanical and robustness performances remain a challenge. Inspired by the specific structures, well mechanical properties and physico-chemical characteristics of some natural plant fibers, a composite of thiol-acrylate main-chain LCE matrix incorporated with catkin fibers is designed and developed. The catkin fibers build a network as reinforcement phase, and demonstrate effective compatibility and integration property with the matrix, their high flexibility can be adapted to the large deformational performance of LCE matrix. The prepared LCE composite demonstrates strong mechanical actuation properties. The modulus and driving force triggered by the stimuli are obviously increased. The tensile strength and fatigue failure resistant property under high loadings and repeated cycles of thermal actuation or photothermal actuation are greatly enhanced. While the stimulus response deformation rate, phase transition temperature and liquid crystal phase structure of the LCE matrix, and so on, do not weaken or change. This work promotes the LCE materials’application potential and broadens the application value of natural plant fibers.

description: We consider a model system describing the 2D flow of a conducting fluid surrounded by a ferromagnetic solid under the influence of the hysteretic response of the surrounding medium. We assume that this influence can be represented by the Preisach hysteresis operator. Existence and uniqueness of solutions for the resulting system of PDEs with hysteresis nonlinearities is established in the convexity domain of the Preisach operator.

description: The net entropy change corresponding to the free charge carriers in a Ni-doped FeRh bulk polycrystal was experimentally evaluated in a single sample using low-temperature heat capacity experiments with applied magnetic field and using Seebeck effect and Hall coefficient measurements at high temperatures across the first-order phase transition. From the heat capacity data, a value for the electronic entropy change dSel=8.9 J/(kg K) was extracted. The analysis of the Seebeck coefficient allows tracing the change of the electronic entropy jump with applied magnetic field directly across the transition. The difference in electronic entropy contribution obtained is as high as 10% from 0.1 to 6 T.

description: A new C-glycosyl flavone, Chrysin-8-C-(2″-O-β-6-deoxy-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), a new neolignan glycoside, citrusin G (2), as well as 15 known compounds (3–17) were isolated from the peel of Passiflora edulis Sims. The structure determinations were primarily based on comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration of 2 were unequivocally determined by the CD experiment and chemical transformation. Compound 1 represents the rare examples of the flavonoid featuring a deoxy glucose sugar moiety. Compounds 5, 7 and 9 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW 264.7 cells, with IC50 values of 34.92, 16.12 and 26.67 μM, respectively.

description: Using data from MALT90 (Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team Survey at 90 GHz), we present molecular line study of a sample of ATLASGAL (APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy) clumps. Twelve emission lines have been detected in all. We found that in most sources, emissions of HC$_3$N, HN$^{13}$C, CH$_3$CN, HNCO and SiO show more compact distributions than those of HCO$^+$, HNC, HCN and N$_2$H$^+$. By comparing with other molecular lines, we found that the abundance of HNCO ($χ$(HNCO)) correlates well with other species such as HC3N, HNC, C2H, H13CO+ and N2H+. Previous studies indicate the HNCO abundance could be enhanced by shocks. However, in this study, we found the abundance of HNCO does not correlate well with that of SiO, which is also a good tracer of shocks. We suggest this may be because HNCO and SiO trace different parts of shocks. Our analysis indicates that the velocity of shock traced by HNCO tends to be lower than that traced by SiO. In the low-velocity shocks traced by HNCO, the HNCO abundance increases faster than that of SiO. While in the relatively high-velocity shocks traced by SiO, the SiO abundance increases faster than that of HNCO. We suggest that in the infrared dark cloud (IRDC) of MSXDC G331.71+00.59, high-velocity shocks are destroying the molecule of HNCO.

Normalized $A(Q^2)$, $B(Q^2)$, $G_Q(Q^2)$ and $T_{20}$ are obtained in a simple QCD-inspired model. We find that $G_{+-}^+$ plays an important role in $G_Q(Q^2)$. Our numerical results are consistent with the data in the intermediate energy region.

description: The phenylpropanoid glucosides from Tadehagi triquetrum were found to be beneficial to glucose and lipid metabolism in vitro. Herein, we investigated the effects of these compounds on oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced foam cell formation in RAW264.7 macrophages, aiming to evaluate their potential utility in prevention of atherosclerosis. Our results showed that three out of seven phenylpropanoid glucosides significantly inhibited oxLDL-evoked foam cell formation. These three compounds remarkably inhibited cholesterol influx and enhanced cholesterol efflux. Treatment with compounds 3, 4 and 7 significantly down-regulated the expression of scavenge receptors 1 (SR-1) and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) and increased the expression ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 (ABCA1 and ABCG1). Analyses of structure–activity relationships revealed that cinnamyl group was the most pivotal group for their activities. This work provided phenomenon that these phenylpropanoid glucosides are effective regulator of cholesterol influx/efflux and may be useful in leading for development of anti-atherosclerotic agents.

description: This paper discusses the convergence of kinetic variational inequalities to rate-independent quasi-static variational inequalities. Mathematical formulations as well as existence and uniqueness results for kinetic and rate-independent quasi-static problems are provided. Sharp a priori estimates for the kinetic problem are derived that imply that the kinetic solutions converge to the rate-independent ones, when the size of initial perturbations and the rate of application of the forces tends to 0. An application to three-dimensional elastic-plastic systems with hardening is given.

description: The paper is devoted to the thermodynamic construction of a two-component model of poroelastic media undergoing, in contrast to earlier works on this subject, nonisothermal processes. Under the constitutive dependence on partial mass densities, deformation gradient of skeleton, relative velocity, temperature, temperature gradient and porosity (simple poroelastic material) as well as the assumption of small deviations from the thermodynamic equilibrium we construct explicit relations for fluxes, prove the splitting of the free energy into partial contributions without mechanical couplings, construct a chemical potential for the fluid component important for the formulation of boundary conditions on permeable boundaries. We discuss as well a modification of the porosity balance equation in which we account for time changes of equilibrium porosity. This modification yields the behavior of the model characteristic for granular materials.

description: We study theoretically the mutual information between reflected and transmitted speckle patterns produced by wave scattering from disordered media. The mutual information between the two speckle images recorded on an array of N detection points (pixels) takes the form of long-range intensity correlation loops, that we evaluate explicitly as a function of the disorder strength and the Thouless number g. Our analysis, supported by extensive numerical simulations, reveals a competing effect of cross-sample and surface spatial correlations. An optimal distance between pixels is proven to exist, that enhances the mutual information by a factor Ng compared to the single-pixel scenario.

We obtain average spectra of Seyferts of type 1 and 2, and find they are well fitted by thermal Comptonization. We present detailed parameter ranges for the plasma temperature and the Compton parameter in the case of spherical and slab geometries. We find both the average and individual OSSE spectra of Seyfert 2s are significantly harder than those of Seyfert 1s, which difference can be due to anisotropy of Compton reflection and/or Thomson-thick absorption.

description: Markets for illicit drugs present an interesting case study for economics, combining non-standard characteristics such as addiction and product illegality. One response has been to argue the generality of economic principles by suggesting that they apply even in the extreme case of markets for addictive substances, e.g., by showing that demand for illicit goods is responsive to price [1] and even by modeling addiction as rational [2]. This paper sketches examples of an alternative reaction, focusing on idiosyncrasies of drug markets that might plausibly create counter-intuitive effects, including supply curves that slope downward because of enforcement swamping and/or a good serving as the only available store of wealth for its producer, demand reduction programs that increase demand, and consumption by “jugglers” possibly increasing rather than decreasing as prices rise. This analysis yields non-obvious policy recommendations; for example, source country control programs should concentrate on growing regions with a healthy banking sector.

description: Let tau_x be a collection of i.i.d. positive random variables with distribution in the domain of attraction of alpha-stable law with alpha <1. The symmetric Bouchaud's trap model on Z is a Markov chain X(t) whose transition rates are given by w_xy=(2tau_x)^-1 if x, y are neighbours in Z. We study the behaviour of two correlation functions: P[X(t_w+t)=X(t_w)] and P[X(t')=X(t_w)forall t'in[t_w,t_w+t]]. It is well known that for any of these correlation functions a time-scale t=f(t_w) such that aging occurs can be found. We study these correlation functions on time-scales different from f(t_w), and we describe more precisely the behaviour of a singular diffusion obtained as the scaling limit of Bouchaud's trap model.

description: Ab initio calculations of the Gamow-Teller (GT) matrix elements in the $β$ decays of $^6$He and $^{10}$C and electron captures in $^7$Be are carried out using both variational and Green's function Monte Carlo wave functions obtained from the Argonne $v_{18}$ two-nucleon and Illinois-7 three-nucleon interactions, and axial many-body currents derived from either meson-exchange phenomenology or chiral effective field theory. The agreement with experimental data is excellent for the electron captures in $^7$Be, while theory overestimates the $^6$He and $^{10}$C data by $\sim 2\%$ and $\sim 10\%$, respectively. We show that for these systems correlations in the nuclear wave functions are crucial to explain the data, while many-body currents increase by $\sim 2$--$3\%$ the one-body GT contributions. These findings suggest that the longstanding $g_A$-problem, i.e., the systematic overprediction ($\sim 20 \%$ in $A\le 18$ nuclei) of GT matrix elements in shell-model calculations, may be resolved, at least partially, by correlation effects.

description: Two new grayanane-type (1 and 2) and one new kalmane-type diterpenoids (3), together with 16 known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Rhododendron micranthum. The structures of new compounds were fully determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS, 1 D and 2 D NMR data. An acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice was proceeded to evaluate the antinociceptive activities of compounds 1–3, 5–6, 9–14 and 16. Compared to vehicle-injected mice, compounds 1, 6, 14 and 16 showed significant antinociceptive effects with writhe inhibition rates of 45.8%-64.2% at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, and compounds 10, 12 and 13 showed significant antinociceptive effects with writhe inhibition rates of 33.9%-64.8% at a dose of 5 mg/kg. Compound 2 showed potent antinociceptive effects with writhe inhibition rates of 86.1% and 54.7% at doses of 8 mg/kg and 0.8 mg/kg, respectively.

description: Necessary heat treatment of single crystal semi-insulating Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), which is deployed in micro- and opto- electronic devices, generate undesirable liquid precipitates in the solid phase. The appearance of precipitates is influenced by surface tension at the liquid/solid interface and deviatoric stresses in the solid. The central quantity for the description of the various aspects of phase transitions is the chemical potential, which can be additively decomposed into a chemical and a mechanical part. In particular the calculation of the mechanical part of the chemical potential is of crucial importance. We determine the chemical potential in the framework of the St. Venant--Kirchhoff law which gives an appropriate stress/strain relation for many solids in the small strain regime. We establish criteria, which allow the correct replacement of the St. Venant--Kirchhoff law by the simpler Hooke law. The main objectives of this study are: (i) We develop a thermo-mechanical model that describes diffusion and interface motion, which both are strongly influenced by surface tension effects and deviatoric stresses. (ii) We give an overview and outlook on problems that can be posed and solved within the framework of the model. (iii) We calculate non-standard phase diagrams, i.e. those that take into account surface tension and non-deviatoric stresses, for GaAs above 786°C, and we compare the results with classical phase diagrams without these phenomena.

description: Edoardo Maragliano (1849-1940) was an Italian physician; he played a central role in medicine’s “renaissance” in Italy and Europe. After beginning his academic career as a professor of pathology, he became full professor of internal medicine in 1881. While he studied all fields of internal medicine, his research focused mainly on tuberculosis. Thanks to his experiments in the medical clinic, Maragliano announced the possibility of immunization against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although criticized for using an inactivated vaccine, Maragliano continued to advocate vaccination with any type of vaccine. Maragliano keenly contributed to the still ongoing process of understanding the difficult interaction between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the infected host.

description: We study the diffusion problem of liquid droplets in single crystal semi-insulating Gallium Arsenide (GaAs). This problem is posed by an industrial application, where the droplets, also called precipitates, appear during a necessary heat treatment of GaAs wafer. The subsequent dissolution of the droplets is mandatory, in order to use the wafer after the heat treatment as a substrate material for micro- and opto- electronic devices. In this study we consider a single droplet in a solid matrix, which is in contact with an arsenic gas, so that the arsenic can cross the solid/gas interface. The model equations have been derived by the authors. They consist of a nonlinear diffusion equation with diffusion controlled and kinetic boundary conditions, respectively, at the liquid/solid interface. Furthermore we study at the solid/gas interface alternatively zero flux and Dirichlet conditions. Surface tension at the liquid/solid interface and deviatoric stresses in the solid are taken into account. The latter appear due to different densities of liquid and solid GaAs. There is a large influence of these effects on diffusion, interface motion and phase diagrams, which are used to identify regions, where coexistence of liquid and solid phases is possible. In order to study the evolution of the droplet, and in particular possibilities to enforce its dissolution, we solve several initial and boundary value problems for the diffusion system.

Проанализированы уровни налоговых нагрузок двух стран накануне реформ по налогам на прибыль, по индивидуальным подоходным налогам и налогам на потребление. Показано, что Канада проигрывала налоговую конкуренцию США по большинству из рассмотренных налогов как на федеральном, так и на субфедеральном уровнях. Проанализированы потенциальные направления воздействия налоговой реформы в США на экономику Канады.

description: It is hoped that these lectures will give a point of entry into that vast web of related ideas that go under the name "string theory". I start with a more or less qualitative introduction to gravity as a field theory and sketch how one might try to quantize it. Quantizing gravity using the usual techniques of field theory will turn out to be unsuccessful, and that will be a motivation for trying an indirect approach: string theory. I present bosonic string theory, quantize the closed string in the light cone gauge and show that one of the states in the closed string Hilbert space can be interpreted as a graviton. I will end with some general qualitative ideas on slightly more advanced topics.

description: Introduction The control of diabetes depends largely on preventive actions and self-management often influenced by knowledge and awareness of the condition, its risk factors, complication, and management. This study assessed the awareness, knowledge, and practices regarding diabetes among adults in two communities in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among five hundred randomly selected non-diabetic respondents, aged 18 to 65 years. Data was collected using the pretested, modified version of the WHO STEPS instrument translated into Yoruba language. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential analysis and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results Majority of the respondents (89.6%) had previously heard about diabetes. Of these (n=448), 31.8% (13.7±7.3) were knowledgeable about diabetes and only 28% have ever had their blood glucose level measured by a doctor or other health professionals Sex and monthly income were statistically associated with respondents’ diabetes knowledge while age, religion, monthly income, employment status, marital status, ethnicity and level of education were statistically associated with screening practices (p<0.05). Monthly income was found to be a significant predictor of the level of knowledge adjusted by sex. Earning N20,000 ($52.60) or less had higher odds of knowledge compared to earning no income (OR 0.54, CI 0.35, 0.83). Conclusion Though Diabetes awareness is high, knowledge gaps and poor screening practices is of concern. This calls for tailored multi-component, community-based, health education interventions.

description: Функции спроса и предельных издержек в электроэнергетическом секторе Азербайджана исследуются авторами в контексте изменения принципов ценообразования при переходе от государственной монополии к рынку. В статье рассчитаны удельные затраты и предельные издержки на основе реальных и номинальных цен, а также цена на электроэнергию при государственной монополии и в условиях конкурентного рынка. Рассматриваются возможные изменения объемов потребленной и произведенной электроэнергии, в том числе излишки электроэнергии при переходе к рынку, с целью определения размеров государственных субсидий производителям и домохозяйствам для уменьшения социальной напряженности из-за возможного повышения цен.

description: Introduction: Although breast cancer has a lower incidence in developing countries, mortality rates are higher, mainly due to delay in diagnosis and the poor diagnostic and therapeutic capacities. Although screening tests have been available for quite a long time, delayed and advanced presentation is still common especially in developing countries. The decade-long Syrian crisis has severely crippled the healthcare system and depleted the already-limited capacities of the healthcare services, which underprioritized the care provided to unurgent cases like breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the practices of breast cancer screening among breast cancer patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in Al-Beiruni Hospital at Damascus University in 2019, through personal interviews using a structured questionnaire. Results: The sample consisted of 532 patients of breast cancer. One-hundred twenty-three (23%) of them reported undergoing one or more of the different screening methods at least once every six months prior to diagnosis. Several factors had a statistically significant association with the probability of applying screening methods including living in large cities, having less children, having a full-time or part-time job, and the level of education. Patients who reported having a relative diagnosed previously with breast cancer or any other malignancies were also more likely to screen themselves. Inaccessibility to healthcare services, which was exaggerated by the armed conflicts, had a significant association with less practicing of the screening methods too. Conclusion: The Syrian war and its direct and indirect consequences negatively affected the practice of screening methods for breast cancer.

title: Positive Regulation of PKA on Human Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (hGnRH) Gene Expression in Human Placental JEG-3 Cells

description: Using the human placental choriocarcinoma JEG-3 cell line as an in vitro human placental model, we studied the mechanisms of the PKA positive regulation of the hGnRH gene expression in the human placenta. Studies in JEG3 cells showed that through the PKA catalytic subunit a, human GnRH upstream promoter activity was stimulated by PKA signaling pathway in a cAMP dependent mechanism. The sequence between —202 (Afl II) and —554 (BamH I) base pair in the human GnRH upstream promoter region appeared to be responsible for the PKA positive regulation of the gene expression. Furthermore, Western blot analysis demonstrated the involvement of phospho-GREB in the PKA regulation of hGnRH gene expression in JEG-3 cells, and GREB-binding protein (CBP) could further enhance the PKA stimulatory effect on the hGnRH upstream promoter activities.

Transient transfection studies showed that 10 μM forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, stimulated the hGnRH upstream promoter activities in JEG-3 cells in a dose dependent fashion. The cAMP analogue, eight-bromo-cAMP(8- CPT-cAMP) also increased hGnRH gene expression in a dose- and time - dependent fashion. The 8-CPT-cAMP stimulatory effect on hGnRH gene expression was abolished by 10 μM of H-89, an antagonist of PKA. The role of PKA catalytic subunits in hGnRH gene expression was also determined: The a subunit stimulated the hGnRH promoter activity by two fold, while the γ subunit did not significantly change the activity.

When the fragment between sequences -202 and -554 bp was deleted away, the PKA positive stimulatory effect disappeared, suggesting that both cis- and trans- elements were involved. Western blot results showed an increased amount of phospho-GREB protein after treatment with 8-CPT-cAMP or co-transfection with PKA catalytic subunit a compared to the control cells without any treatment. Furthermore, transient transfection studies demonstrated that GREB-binding protein (CBP) enhanced the PKA stimulatory effect on hGnRH upstream promoter activities, suggesting that CBP may be also involved in the PKA regulation of hGnRH gene expression.

While PKA signaling pathway has been involved in many placental functions, we have demonstrated, for the first time, the PKA positive regulation on hGnRH gene expression which should help to further elucidate the mechanism of local hGnRH functions in the placenta.

description: Digital information can be encoded in the building-block sequence of macro-molecules, such as RNA and single-stranded DNA. Methods of "writing" and "reading" macromolecular strands are currently available, but they are slow and expensive. In an ideal molecular data storage system, routine operations such as write, read, erase, store, and transfer must be done reliably and at high speed within an integrated chip. As a first step toward demonstrating the feasibility of this concept, we report preliminary results of DNA readout experiments conducted in miniaturized chambers that are scalable to even smaller dimensions. We show that translocation of a single-stranded DNA molecule (consisting of 50 adenosine bases followed by 100 cytosine bases) through an ion-channel yields a characteristic signal that is attributable to the 2-segment structure of the molecule. We also examine the dependence of the rate and speed of molecular translocation on the adjustable parameters of the experiment.
