description: In the present study, five new ent-kaurane diterpenes including 4α-hydroxy-17,19-dinor-ent-kaurane-16-one (1), 4β-hydroxy-16β-H-18-nor-ent-kaurane-17-oic acid (2), 4β,17-dihydroxy-16α-acetoxy-18-nor-ent-kaurane (3), Annosquamosin Z (4) and 16α-H-ent-kaurane-17,18-dioic acid, 17-methy ester (5) were isolated from Annona squamosa L. pericarp. The compounds were also evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cell lines, among which compound 3 exhibited potent cytotoxicity with IC50 value of less than 20 μM.
The Uyghur Community in Turkey: nostalgic Pan-Turkism, ethno-nationalism and political adjustments

description: This thesis explores the post-1949 Uyghur emigration from Xinjiang and the formation of the Uyghur community living in Turkey today. Based on multi-sited fieldwork in Turkey and Germany I focus on the gradual transmation and diversification of the community from the1950s up to the present day. I examine this multifaceted migration, its narration, and the changing political discourses and practices in Turkey against the background of the migrants' personal experiences. I focus on Uyghur agency in shaping diaspora identity based on their life stories in order to understand how the traumatic events they recall are transmitted to younger generations and shaped by subsequent experiences in Turkey. The emphasis on suffering ascribed by leading figures ofthe first generation in accordance to the political expectations of Turkey has been criticised by second and third generation Uyghurs. I will explore debates within the community on Uyghur collectiveness around concepts of Pan-Turkism, ethno-nationalism, victimhood, suffering and survivor's guilt. In the heart of the lives of individuals and at the centre of political debates of organizations lies the East Turkistan Cause. But within the last decades contesting visions have emerged with shifting political aspirations. The disillusionment of pan-Turkic groups after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and developing Turkish-Sino relations led to an Uyghur ethno-nationalism that, to the displeasure of certain groups, renders pan-Turkic ideas obsolete and creates discursive fault lines within the community. The transnational Uyghur political struggle, with its origin in Turkey, is evolving with these political changes. New debates on future strategies to promote the East Turkistan Cause are gaining momentum with influential groups being outside Turkey now. Within these developments I show how Turkey's role in the East Turkistan Cause has changed and how new perceptions within the community led to political adjustments in everyday life as well as in debates within the exile Uyghur organizations.

description: The main objective of the present paper is to present a version of the Tannaka-Krein type reconstruction Theorems: If $F:B\to C$ is an exact faithful monoidal functor of tensor categories, one would like to realize $B$ as category of representations of a braided Hopf algebra $H(F)$ in $C$. We prove that this is the case iff $B$ has the additional structure of a monoidal $C$-module category compatible with $F$, which equivalently means that $F$ admits a monoidal section. For Hopf algebras, this reduces to a version of the Radford projection theorem. The Hopf algebra is constructed through the relative coend for module categories. We expect this basic result to have a wide range of applications, in particular in the absence of fibre functors, and we give some applications. One particular motivation was the logarithmic Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture.

Effects of hyperonic many-body force on $B_Λ$ values of hypernuclei

description: The stiff equation of state (EoS) giving the neutron-star mass of $2M_{\odot}$ suggests the existence of strongly repulsive many-body effect (MBE) not only in nucleon channels but also in hyperonic ones. As a specific model for MBE, the repulsive multi-pomeron exchange potential (MPP) is added to the two-body interaction together with the phenomenological three-body attraction. For various versions of the Nijmegen interaction models, the MBE parts are determined so as to reproduce the observed data of $B_Λ$. The mass dependence of $B_Λ$ values is shown to be reproduced well by adding MBE with the strong MPP repulsion assuring the stiff EoS of hyperon-mixed neutron-star matter, when $P$-state components of the adopted interaction model lead to almost vanishing contributions. The nuclear matter $Λ\!N$ $G$-matrix interactions are derived and used in $Λ$ hypernuclei on the basis of the averaged-density approximation (ADA). The $B_Λ$ values of hypernuclei with $9 \le A \le 59$ are analyzed in the framework of Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics with use of the two types of $Λ\!N$ $G$-matrix interactions including strong and weak MPP repulsions. The calculated values of $B_Λ$ reproduce the experimental data finely within a few hundred keV. The values of $B_Λ$ in $p$-states also can be reproduced well, when ADA is modified to be suitable also to weakly-bound $Λ$ states.

description: Asteroseismic modelling of isolated star presents significant challenges due to the difficulty in accurately determining stellar parameters, particularly the stellar age. These challenges can be overcomed by observing stars in open clusters, whose coeval members share an initial chemical composition. The light curves by TESS allow us to investigate and analyse stellar variations in clusters with an unprecedented level. We aim to detect gravity-mode oscillations in the early-type main-sequence members of the young open cluster NGC 2516. We selected the 301 member stars as our sample and analysed the TESS FFI light curves. We also collected high-resolution spectra using the FEROS for the g-mode pulsators. By fitting the theoretical isochrones to the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of a cluster, we determined an age of 102 $\pm$ 15 Myr and inferred the extinction at 550 nm ($A_0$) is 0.53 $\pm$ 0.04 mag. We identified 147 stars with surface brightness modulations, 24 with g-mode pulsations ($γ$ Doradus or Slowly Pulsating B stars), and 35 with p-mode pulsations ($δ$ Sct stars). When sorted by colour index, the amplitude spectra of the $δ$ Sct stars show a distinct ordering and reveal a discernible frequency-temperature relationship. The near-core rotation rates, measured from period spacing patterns in two SPB and nine $γ$ Dor stars, reach up to 3/d . This is at the high end of the values found from Kepler data of field stars of similar variability type. The $γ$ Dor stars have internal rotation rates as high as 50% of their critical value, whereas the SPB stars exhibit rotation rates close to their critical rate. We did not find long-term brightness and colour variations in the mid-infrared, which suggests that there are no disk or shell formation events in our sample. We also discussed the results of our spectroscopic observations for the g-mode pulsators.

description: Ligand binding and temperature play important roles in riboswitch RNAs’ structures and functions. However, most studies focused on studying structural dynamics or gene-regulation function of riboswitches from the aspect of ligand, instead of temperature. Here we combined NMR, ITC, stopped-flow and in vivo assays to investigate the ligand-triggered switch of adenine riboswitch from 10 to 45°C. Our results demonstrated that at single-nucleotide resolution, structural regions sensed ligand and temperature diversely. Temperature had opposite effects on ligand-binding and gene-regulation of adenine riboswitch. Compared with higher temperature, the RNA bound with its cognate ligand obviously stronger, while its regulatory capacity was weakened at lower temperature. In addition, application of specific-labelled RNAs to the stopped-flow experiments identified the real-time folding of the specific positions upon ligand addition at different temperatures. The kissing loop and internal loop at the riboswitch responded to ligand and temperature differently. The distinct thermo-dynamics of adenine riboswitch exposed here may contribute to the fields of RNA sensors and drug design.

description: We propose the angular distribution of lepton pairs produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions as a probe of thermalization of the quark-gluon plasma. We focus on dileptons with invariant masses large enough that they are produced through quark-antiquark annihilation in the early stages of the collision. The angular distribution of the lepton in the rest frame of the pair then reflects the angular distribution of quark momenta. At early times, the transverse pressure of the quark-gluon plasma is larger than its longitudinal pressure as a result of the fast longitudinal expansion, which results in an oblate lepton distribution. By contrast, direct (Drell-Yan) production by quarks and antiquarks from incoming nuclei, whose momenta are essentially longitudinal, results in a prolate distribution. As the invariant mass increases, Drell-Yan gradually becomes the dominant source of dilepton production, and the lepton distribution evolves from oblate to prolate. The invariant mass at which the transition occurs is highly sensitive to the equilibration time of the quark-gluon plasma or, equivalently, the shear viscosity over entropy ratio $η/s$ in the early stages of the collision.

description: We test the bandpass smoothness performance of two prototype Square Kilometre Array (SKA) SKA1-Low log-periodic dipole antennas, the SKALA2 and SKALA3 (`SKA Log-periodic Antenna'), and the current dipole from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) precursor telescope. Throughout this paper, we refer to the output complex-valued voltage response of an antenna when connected to a low noise amplifier (LNA), as the dipole bandpass. In Paper I (de Lera Acedo et al. 2017), the bandpass spectral response of the log-periodic antenna being developed for the SKA1-Low was estimated using numerical electromagnetic simulations and analyzed using low-order polynomial fittings and it was compared with the HERA antenna against the delay spectrum metric. In this work, realistic simulations of the SKA1-Low instrument, including frequency-dependent primary beams and array configuration, are used with a weighted least-squares polynomial estimator to assess the ability of prototype antennas to perform the SKA Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) statistical experiments. This work complements the ideal estimator tolerances computed for the proposed EoR science experiments in Trott & Wayth (2016), with the realised performance of an optimal and standard estimation (calibration) procedure. With a sufficient sky calibration model at higher frequencies, all antennas have bandpasses that are sufficiently smooth to meet the tolerances described in Trott & Wayth (2016) to perform the EoR statistical experiments, and these are primarily limited by an adequate sky calibration model, and the thermal noise level in the calibration data. At frequencies of the Cosmic Dawn (CD), which is of principal interest to SKA as one of the first next-generation telescopes capable of accessing higher redshifts, the MWA dipole and SKALA3 antenna have adequate performance, while the SKALA2 design will impede the ability to explore this era.

description: We model an interacting quantum dot of electrons by a Hamiltonian with random and all-to-all single particle hopping (of r.m.s. strength $t$) and two-particle interactions (of r.m.s. strength $J$). For $t \ll J$, such a model has a regime exhibiting the non-quasiparticle physics of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model at temperatures $E_{\rm coh} \ll T \ll J$, and that of a renormalized Fermi liquid at $T \ll E_{\rm coh}$, where $E_{\rm coh} = t^2 / J$. Extending earlier work has computed the mean thermoelectric properties of such a dot weakly coupled to two external leads, we compute the sample-to-sample fluctuations in the conductance and thermopower of such a dot, and describe several distinct regimes. In all cases, the effect of the SYK interactions is to reduce the strength of the sample-to-sample fluctuations. We also find that in the regime where the mean transport co-efficients are determined only by the value of $J$ at leading order, the sample-to-sample fluctuations can be controlled by the influence of the smaller $t$.

description: We extend a previous work by Reischke et al., 2016 by studying the effects of tidal shear on clustering dark energy models within the framework of the extended spherical collapse model and using the Zel'dovich approximation. As in previous works on clustering dark energy, we assumed a vanishing effective sound speed describing the perturbations in dark energy models. To be self-consistent, our treatment is valid only on linear scales since we do not intend to introduce any heuristic models. This approach makes the linear overdensity $δ_{\rm c}$ mass dependent and similarly to the case of smooth dark energy, its effects are predominant at small masses and redshifts. Tidal shear has effects of the order of percent or less, regardless of the model and preserves a well known feature of clustering dark energy: When dark energy perturbations are included, the models resemble better the $Λ$CDM evolution of perturbations. We also showed that effects on the comoving number density of halos are small and qualitatively and quantitatively in agreement with what previously found for smooth dark energy models.

description: Exceptionally displaceable ions, evidenced by huge ratios of materials static to high-frequency dielectric constants, enable short-range electron-phonon interactions to stabilize large planar bipolarons. These large bipolarons are compact and strongly bound. By contrast, very diffuse and weakly bound large bipolarons result without the electron-phonon interactions short-range component. Cuprates superoxygen bipolarons are centered on four inward relaxing oxygen anions circumscribed by four outward relaxing copper cations. Concomitant oxygen to copper charge transfer converts them to spinless Cu1+ cations. The planar d symmetry of superoxygens' groundstate molecular orbital tracks the superoxygens' predominant zeropoint radial vibrations. These large bipolarons distinctive charge transport, absorption, magnetism, local atomic vibrations, condensation into a liquid and subsequent high-temperature superconductivity are consistent with cuprate superconductors' long-established unusual properties.

description: Incorporating ferromagnetic dopants, such as chromium or vanadium, into thin films of the three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) (Bi,Sb)2Te3 has recently led to the realisation of the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), a unique phase of quantum matter. These materials are of great interest, since they may support electrical currents that flow without resistance via edge channels, even at zero magnetic field. To date, the QAHE has been investigated using low-frequency transport measurements. However, transport requires contacting the sample and results can be difficult to interpret due to the presence of parallel conductive paths, via either the bulk or surface, or because additional non-chiral edge channels may exist. Here, we move beyond transport measurements by probing the microwave response of a magnetised disk of Cr-(Bi,Sb)2Te3. We identify features associated with chiral edge magnetoplasmons (EMPs), a signature that robust edge-channels are indeed intrinsic to this material system. Our results provide a measure of the velocity of edge excitations without contacting the sample, and pave the way for a new, on-chip circuit element of practical importance: the TI, zero-field microwave circulator.
Dafny-style verification of MiniJava programs

description: Software verification is the process of proving that a program fulfils all of its expected requirements. It is a crucial component of software engineering and is vital for successful software. This project is in the area of software verification and attempts to create a Dafny style verification system for the MiniJava language. The system is part of a MiniJava compiler so programs can be verified at compile time. t contains the basic features of the Dafny programming language, a language with inbuilt specification constructs, as well as some of its more advanced ones if time permits. The verification specifications are defined by the programmer as part of the MiniJava source code. Any verification errors are displayed to the user. The project research will build such a system and determine whether or not every desire verification feature can be recreated in MiniJava. The project is focused specifically around the MiniJava language as a MiniJava compiler is available for use in the project and MiniJava is a very basic language with a limited feature set. These two aspects allow for the task to be feasible for a project of this scale.

description: LaCasa is a type system and programming model to enforce the object capability discipline in Scala, and to provide affine types. One important application of LaCasa's type system is software isolation of concurrent processes. Isolation is important for several reasons including security and data-race freedom. Moreover, LaCasa's affine references enable efficient, by-reference message passing while guaranteeing a "deep-copy" semantics. This deep-copy semantics enables programmers to seamlessly port concurrent programs running on a single machine to distributed programs running on large-scale clusters of machines. This paper presents an integration of LaCasa with actors in Scala, specifically, the Akka actor-based middleware, one of the most widely-used actor systems in industry. The goal of this integration is to statically ensure the isolation of Akka actors. Importantly, we present the results of an empirical study investigating the effort required to use LaCasa's type system in existing open-source Akka-based systems and applications.

description: Είναι γεγονός ότι από την εποχή που δημιουργήθηκαν τα βιντεοπαιχνίδια εως και σήμερα, έχει αλλάξει η ζωή πολλών ανθρώπων. Έτσι λοιπόν κάποιος καταφεύγει στην ενασχόληση με αυτά σε μια πληθώρα καταστάσεων, όπως για παράδειγμα στον ελεύθερο του χρόνο ή ακόμη και επαγγελματικά. Παρομοίως υπάρχουν πολλοί λόγοι για τους οποίους μπορεί κανείς να καταφύγει στο ηλεκτρονικό παιχνίδι, όπως για παράδειγμα για να διασκεδάσει, για να χαλαρώσει, για να περάσει την ώρα του, για να επικοινωνήσει με τους φίλους του αν δεν υπάρχει η δυνατότητα επαφής, μέσω φυσικής παρουσίας, ή ακόμη και για να βιοποριστεί. Είναι φανερό, όπως άλλωστε και με οποιοδήποτε άλλο τομέα της τεχνολογίας, ότι οι δυνατότητες και τα όρια που χαρακτηρίζουν ένα βιντεοπαιχνίδι συγκριτικά από την εποχή της ίδρυσης τους μέχρι και σήμερα, έχουν αλλάξει δραματικά. Αντικείμενο της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η δημιουργία ενός παιχνιδιού από την αρχή. Απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση υλοποίησης του έργου αυτού, είναι η κατανόηση των βασικών υποδομών που συντελούν στο σύνολο τους στη δημιουργία ενός βιντεοπαιχνιδιού. Μέσω της παρούσας μελέτης παρουσιάζονται στον αναγνώστη, τόσο οι βασικές έννοιες και τεχνικές που είναι απαραίτητες για τη δημιουργία ενός απλού βιντεοπαιχνιδιού, όσο και μερικές προχωρημένες καταστάσεις που αντιπροσωπεύουν στοιχεία και ενέργειες που συναντώνται στα εμπορικά παιχνίδια. Επομένως η μελέτη αυτή μπορεί να φανεί χρήσιμη όχι μόνο σε αρχάριους, αλλά και σε ανθρώπους που διαθέτουν κάποια σχετική εμπειρία ήδη, με το κόσμο της παραγωγής των βιντεοπαιχνιδιών.

description: Ligand binding and temperature play important roles in riboswitch RNAs’ structures and functions. However, most studies focused on studying structural dynamics or gene-regulation function of riboswitches from the aspect of ligand, instead of temperature. Here we combined NMR, ITC, stopped-flow and in vivo assays to investigate the ligand-triggered switch of adenine riboswitch from 10 to 45 ºC. Our results demonstrated that at single-nucleotide resolution, structural regions sensed ligand and temperature diversely. Temperature had opposite effects on ligand-binding and gene-regulation of adenine riboswitch. Compared with higher temperature, the RNA bound with its cognate ligand obviously stronger, while its regulatory capacity was weakened at lower temperature. In addition, application of specific-labeled RNAs to the stopped-flow experiments identified the real-time folding of the specific positions upon ligand addition at different temperatures. The kissing loop and internal loop at the riboswitch responded to ligand and temperature differently. The distinct thermo-dynamics of adenine riboswitch exposed here may contribute to the fields of RNA sensors and drug design.

description: WP5 started in M21 (March 2023), according to the work plan schedule in the Description of Action in the GA. WP5 builds on results of WP1-4 and WP6. The aim of the WP is to jointly develop a MATS vision of a more sustainable, resilient food system that builds on equitable economic partnerships in agricultural trade as well as transition pathways towards this vision, which will be described in deliverable 5.2. The visioning process focuses on a joint vision for the whole MATS consortium within the context of alternative trade regimes. The visioning workshop was held during MATS project meeting in Tanzania. In preparation of the workshop: (1) Mini-Workshop in the context of the MATS project meeting on May 15th & 16th, 2023 was organized with background information on the visioning process and first ideas on the vision elements based on different case studies. (2) Individual meetings with case study representatives took place. This assisted in identifying the most important aspects for the vision. With this background four webinars were organized in preparation of the workshop on transition pathways in March. The whole process of task 5.1 will be summarized in the policy brief on the visioning, which is as well part of deliverable 5.1.
Enthusiasm and restoration in the rhetoric of 17th century British Royalist poetics

description: The aim of this paper is to give a critical account of the early modern tropes of enthusiasm and restoration within four Royalist voices of Seventeenth-century British literature. The centre of the critical examination is the intersection between these two tropes and the ideas of Francis Bacon and his adherents in the Restoration period. The trope of enthusiasm was used by Royalist thinkers to stigmatise political opposition and was commonly applied to Puritans throughout the 17th century. Due to the fact that enthusiasts sometimes used nature as a basis for their knowledge enquiries, Francis Bacon’s own natural philosophy was often tainted with the stigma of this trope. As a consequence, the challenge of legitimation for natural philosophers and its champions like Francis Bacon, Abraham Cowley and Bishop Thomas Sprat, was to answer this trope and distance their own ideas from enthusiasts. As the evidence presented will illustrate, the arguments Bacon used toward his Jacobean audience in New Atlantis and the ideas of Bacon used by his Restoration adherents repositioned Baconianism as a remedy against the rise of enthusiasm using tropes of restoration. The key finding of this research is that the role of Francis Bacon’s theories of social psychology and language were crucial within Bacon and his adherents’ response to the problem of enthusiasm as well as their program for the “Restoration” of Royalism. This paper also examines Samuel Butler’s response to the claims of Bacon and Baconianism with respect to the tropes of enthusiasm and restoration. The purpose of contrasting Butler’s view of the Baconians and their claims of “Restoration” is to illustrate how and why enthusiasm was an important battleground in the Restoration era. Butler’s different interpretation of “Restoration” highlight some fracture points within Royalist ideology that related to the Baconian inheritance. One prime conclusion drawn from these contrasting views was the central contention between Butler and Baconianism involving their different theories of language and what conclusions we ought to make about the capacity for human restoration.

description: Sparse matrix multiplication is an important kernel for large-scale graph processing and other data-intensive applications. In this paper, we implement various asynchronous, RDMA-based sparse times dense (SpMM) and sparse times sparse (SpGEMM) algorithms, evaluating their performance running in a distributed memory setting on GPUs. Our RDMA-based implementations use the NVSHMEM communication library for direct, asynchronous one-sided communication between GPUs. We compare our asynchronous implementations to state-of-the-art bulk synchronous GPU libraries as well as a CUDA-aware MPI implementation of the SUMMA algorithm. We find that asynchronous RDMA-based implementations are able to offer favorable performance compared to bulk synchronous implementations, while also allowing for the straightforward implementation of novel work stealing algorithms.

description: There is a resurgence of interest in black holes sparked by the LIGO-VIRGO detection of stellar black hole mergers and recent astronomical investigations of jets and accretion disks which probe the spacetime geometry of black holes with masses ranging from a few times the mass of the sun to tens of billions of solar masses. Many of these black holes appear to be spinning rapidly. Some new approaches are described to studying how accreting black holes function as cosmic machines paying special attention to observations of AGN jets, especially with VLBI and $γ$-ray telescopes. It is assumed that these jets are powered by the electromagnetic extraction of the spin energy of their associated black holes, which are described by the Kerr metric, and that they become simpler and more electromagnetically dominated as the event horizon is approached. The major uncertainty in these models is in describing acceleration and transport of relativistic electrons and positrons and simple phenomenological prescriptions are proposed. The application of these ideas to M87 and 3C279 is outlined and the prospects for learning more, especially from the Event Horizon Telescope and the Cerenkov Telescope Array, are discussed. The main benefit of a better understanding of black hole astrophysics to the LISA mission should be a firmer understanding of the source demographics.

description: Mini arrays are commonly used for infrasonic and seismic studies. Here we report for the first time the detection and mapping of distant lightning discharges in the sky with a mini array. The array has a baseline to wavelength ratio $\sim$4.2 ${ \cdot}$ $10^{-2}$ to record very low frequency electromagnetic waves from 2 to 18 kHz. It is found that the mini array detects $\sim$69 lightning pulses per second from cloud-to-ground and in-cloud discharges, even though the parent thunderstorms are $\sim$900-1100 km away and a rigorous selection criterion based on the quality of the wavefront across the array is used. In particular, lightning pulses that exhibit a clockwise phase progression are found at larger elevation angles in the sky as the result of a birefringent subionospheric wave propagation attributed to ordinary and extraordinary waves. These results imply that long range lightning detection networks might benefit from an exploration of the wave propagation conditions with mini arrays.

description: Nucleotide modification in RNA controls a bevy of biological processes, including RNA degradation, gene expression, and gene editing. In turn, misregulation of modified nucleotides is associated with a host of chronic diseases and disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms driving these processes remain poorly understood. To partially address this knowledge gap, we used alchemical and temperature replica exchange molecular dynamics (TREMD) simulations on an RNA duplex and an analogous hairpin to probe the structural effects of modified and/or mutant nucleotides. The simulations successfully predict the modification/mutation-induced relative free energy change for complementary duplex formation, and structural analyses highlight mechanisms driving stability changes. Furthermore, TREMD simulations for a hairpin-forming RNA with and without modification provide reliable estimations of the energy landscape. Illuminating the impact of methylated and/or mutated nucleotides on the structure-function relationship and the folding energy landscape, the simulations provide insights into modification-induced alterations to the folding mechanics of the hairpin. The results here may be biologically significant as hairpins are widespread structure motifs that play critical roles in gene expression and regulation. Specifically, the tetraloop of the probed hairpin is phylogenetically abundant, and the stem mirrors a miRNA seed region whose modification has been implicated in epilepsy pathogenesis.
