description: We derive the uncertainty principle for a Dirac fermion in a torsion field obeying the Hehl-Datta (HD) equation. We first discuss that there should be a correction factor to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) when torsional effects are taken into consideration. We then derive the uncertainty relation from a solitary wave solution of the HD equation in 1+1 dimensions. We find that the results agree with the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). We then introduce the unified length scale $L_{CS}$ (which unifies Compton wavelength and Schwarzschild radius) into the HD equation and see how the probability density of the solution transforms for particles of different masses.

The SED in the hot continuum of the symbiotic binary AR Pavonis. I. Tests with the current models
Creators: name: Skopal, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present the spectral energy distribution (SED) in the continuum of the eclipsing symbiotic binary AR Pav between 0.12 and 3.4 microns. This revealed a high luminosity of the hot object in the binary, L(hot) = 2200(d/4.9 kpc)**2 L(Sun). We introduce a method of disentangling the total continuum spectrum into its individual components of radiation for current models of symbiotic binaries. Applying a standard ionization model we show that the configuration of AR Pav differs significantly from that typical for symbiotic binaries during their quiescent phases. The best fit of the observed SED is provided by radiation of a simple blackbody accretion disk with L(AD)=1700(d/4.9 kpc)**2 L(Sun), which is embedded in an extended hot corona with Te=40000+/-5000K and L(neb)=500 (d/4.9 kpc)**2 L(Sun). This basic configuration of the hot object explains also the observed wavelength-dependent depth and width of the eclipse profile. The standard thin disk model requires a high accretion rate dot M(acc) > 2x1E-4M(Sun)/yr onto the central star with a radius R(acc) > 2R(Sun) to balance the observed luminosity. Irrespectively to the disk model, the accretion process limits R(acc) > 0.1R(Sun) for dot M(acc) > 1.7x1E-5 M(Sun)/yr and M(acc)=0.75 - 1.0M(Sun), which precludes a white dwarf to be the accreting star. Application of models with the disk and the boundary layer shows that the far-UV spectrum is not consistent with a large amount of a hot radiation from the boundary layer.

description: Unknown changes in the crystalline order of regular TiO$_2$ result in the formation of black titania, which has garnered significant interest as a photocatalytic material due to the accompanying electronic changes. Herein, we determine the nature of the lattice distortion caused by an oxygen vacancy that in turn results in the formation of mid-band gap states found in previous studies of black titania. We introduce an innovative technique using a state-of-the-art silicon drift detector, which can be used in conjunction with extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to measure bulk interatomic distances. We illustrate how the energy dispersive nature of such a detector can allow us an unimpeded signal, indefinitely in energy space, thereby sidestepping the hurdles of more conventional EXAFS, which is often impeded by other absorption edges.

The environmental dependence of radio-loud AGN activity and star formation in the 2dFGRS
Creators: name: Best, P. N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By combining the 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey with the NRAO VLA Sky Survey at 1.4 GHz, the environments of radio loud AGN in the nearby Universe are investigated using both local projected galaxy densities and a friends-of-friends group finding algorithm. Radio-loud AGN are preferentially located in galaxy groups and poor-to-moderate richness galaxy clusters. The AGN fraction appears to depend more strongly on the large-scale environment (group, cluster, etc) in which a galaxy is located than on its more local environment, except at the lowest galaxy surface densities where practically no radio-loud AGN are found. The ratio of absorption-line to emission-line AGN changes dramatically with environment, with essentially all radio-loud AGN in rich environments showing no emission lines. This result could be connected with the lack of cool gas in cluster galaxies, and may have important consequences for analyses of optically-selected AGN, which are invariably selected on emission line properties. The local galaxy surface density of the absorption-line AGN is strongly correlated with radio luminosity, implying that the radio luminosities may be significantly boosted in dense environments due to confinement by the hot intracluster gas. The environments of a radio-selected sample of star forming galaxies are also investigated to provide an independent test of optical studies. In line with those studies, the fraction of star forming galaxies is found to decrease strongly with increasing local galaxy surface density; this correlation extends across the whole range of galaxy surface densities, with no evidence for the density threshold found in some optical studies.

description: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global pandemic that is characterized by high blood glucose levels. Conventional treatments have limitations, leading to the search for natural alternatives. This study focused on Solanum torvum (STV), a medicinal plant, to identify potential anti-diabetic compounds using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. We focused on identifying natural inhibitors of two key enzymes involved in glucose metabolism: α-amylase (1HNY) and α-glucosidase (4J5T). In our preliminary docking study, rutin showed the highest binding affinity (−11.58 kcal/mol) to α-amylase, followed by chlorogenin (−7.58 kcal/mol) and myricetin (−5.82 kcal/mol). For α-glucosidase, rutin had the highest binding affinity (−11.78 kcal/mol), followed by chlorogenin (−7.11 kcal/mol) and fisetin (−6.44 kcal/mol). Hence, chlorogenin and rutin were selected for further analysis and compared with acarbose, an FDA-approved antidiabetic drug. Comparative docking revealed that chlorogenin had the highest binding affinity of (−9.9 kcal/mol) > rutin (−8.7 kcal/mol) and > acarbose (−7.7 kcal/mol) for α-amylase. While docking with α-glucosidase, chlorogenin again had the highest binding affinity of (−9.8 kcal/mol) > compared to rutin (−9.5 kcal/mol) and acarbose (−7.9 kcal/mol). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to assess their stability. We simulated 100 nanoseconds (ns) trajectories to analyze their stability on various parameters, including RMSD, RMSF, RG, SASA, H-bond analysis, PCA, FEL, and MM-PBSA on the six docked proteins. In conclusion, our study suggests that chlorogenin and rutin derived from STV may be effective natural therapeutic agents for diabetes management because of their strong binding affinities for the α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.

description: In this paper, we review existing food and nutrition security indicators, discuss some of their advantages and disadvantages, and finally classify them and describe their relationships and overlaps. In order to achieve this, the paper makes reference to the existing definitions of food and nutrition security (FNS), in particular as they have been agreed upon and implemented in the FoodSecure project (www.foodsecure.eu). The main existing conceptual frameworks of FNS predating the present paper are also used as guidelines and briefly discussed. Finally, we make recommendations in terms of the most appropriate FNS indicators to quantify the impacts of various shocks and interventions on food and nutrition security outcomes.

This paper, therefore, models an open source project as an organizational network. It provides definitions of social capital for this organizational network and formulation of the mechanism to optimize the social capital for achieving its goal that is optimized productivity. A case study of an open source Apache-Hadoop project is considered and empirically evaluated. An analysis of how social capital can be created within this type of organizations and driven to a measurement for its value is provided. Finally, a verification on whether the social capital of the organizational network is proportional towards optimizing their productivity is considered.

description: We study inflationary solutions in the M-theory. Including the fourth-order curvature correction terms, we find three generalized de Sitter solutions, in which our 3-space expands exponentially. Taking one of the solutions, we propose an inflationary scenario of the early universe. This provides us a natural explanation for large extra dimensions in a brane world, and suggests some connection between the 60 e-folding expansion of inflation and TeV gravity based on the large extra dimensions.

description: Cardiomyocytes rely on specialised metabolism to meet the high energy demand of the heart. During heart development, metabolism matures and shifts from the predominant utilisation of glycolysis and glutamine oxidation towards lactate and fatty acid oxidation. Iron deficiency (ID) leads to cellular metabolism perturbations. However, the exact alterations in substrate metabolism during ID are poorly defined. Using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM), the present study investigated changes in major metabolic substrate utilisation in the context of ID or upon transferrin rescue. Typically, during hiPSC-CM differentiation, the greatest increase in total metabolic output and rate was seen in fatty acid metabolism. When ID was induced, hiPSC-CMs displayed increased reliance on glycolytic metabolism, and six TCA cycle, five amino acid, and four fatty acid substrates were significantly impaired. Transferrin rescue was able to improve TCA cycle substrate metabolism, but the amino acid and fatty acid metabolism remained perturbed. Replenishing iron stores partially reverses the adverse metabolic changes that occur during ID. Understanding the changes in metabolic substrate utilisation and their modification may provide potential for discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases.

description: Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services coupled with poor hygiene practices continues to kill, sicken and diminish opportunities of millions of people in developing countries. Various interventions to improve drinking water quality and service levels, sanitation and hygiene (WSH) have been applied, albeit in isolated approaches. Relevant literature focused on assessing the cost and health effectiveness of such approaches. In parallel, irrigation in agriculture, which affects all the water cycle and thus drinking water quality and quantity, has been developed without looking into the consequences for WSH. In this paper, we argue that the ‘nexus’ approach should take peoples’ multiple water needs as a starting point for providing integrated services and thus move beyond conventional sectoral barriers of domestic and productive sectors. Isolated approaches have their drawbacks missing out on positive externalities on health and nutrition outcomes. We also argue that (the prospect of) a holistic approach including WSH and agriculture sectors for a long term health and nutrition impact should be explored. The paper reviews the body of literature dealing with WSH and irrigation agriculture, synthesizes the remarks thereof and concludes with suggestions to unravel the ‘nexus’ between WSH and agriculture for a long term health and nutrition impact.

description: We investigate the backward Darboux transformations (addition of a lowest bound state) of shape-invariant potentials on the line, and classify the subclass of algebraic deformations, those for which the potential and the bound states are simple elementary functions. A countable family, $m=0,1,2,...$, of deformations exists for each family of shape-invariant potentials. We prove that the $m$-th deformation is exactly solvable by polynomials, meaning that it leaves invariant an infinite flag of polynomial modules $\mathcal{P}^{(m)}_m\subset\mathcal{P}^{(m)}_{m+1}\subset...$, where $\mathcal{P}^{(m)}_n$ is a codimension $m$ subspace of $<1,z,...,z^n>$. In particular, we prove that the first ($m=1$) algebraic deformation of the shape-invariant class is precisely the class of operators preserving the infinite flag of exceptional monomial modules $\mathcal{P}^{(1)}_n = < 1,z^2,...,z^n>$. By construction, these algebraically deformed Hamiltonians do not have an $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ hidden symmetry algebra structure.

Merged Four Dirac Points at the Critical Interlayer Distance in Commensurately Twisted Bilayer Graphene: the Origin of the Zero Velocity

description: We study the commensurately-tilted bilayer graphene in the tight-binding model with changing the interlayer distance, which can be tuned by pressure. We find that at the commensurately-tilted bilayer graphene with moderate rotating angles, when the energy gap at K point is not negligible, the other Dirac points within the upper two bands move along the $Γ$-K-M line in the bilayer Brillouzone, when the interlayer distance is changed. The velocity at K point becomes zero due to the merging of the four Dirac points within upper two bands. This mechanism of zero velocity at K point is expected to be the origin of the magic angle with flat band at ambient pressure, at which the upper two bands are almost degenerate and the band gap at K can be neglected.

description: A series of novel indole-thiazolidinedione hybrid analogues (7a to 7 u) were synthesised, characterised and evaluated for their potential Pancreatic Lipase (PL) inhibition. Amongst the screened analogues, 7r was found to be the most active PL inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.67 µM. Furthermore, enzyme inhibition kinetics study revealed a competitive mode of inhibition by the analogues. This fact was confirmed via fluorescence spectroscopy which further suggested the presence of one binding site for the synthesized analogues. Molecular docking was performed using human PL (PDB ID: 1LPB) and were in agreement with the in vitro results (Pearson’s r = 0.8355, p < 0.05). A molecular dynamics study (100 ns) indicated that 7r was stable in a dynamic environment. The analogue 7r exhibited potential antioxidant activity and was devoid of cytotoxic effect on RAW 264.7 cells. Based on the in-vitro profiles, 7r was selected for the in-vivo pharmacological evaluation. Oral triglyceride tolerance test highlighted effect of 7r on the inhibition of triglyceride absorption. A four-week treatment of 7r in the HFD feed mice provided information regarding its anti-obesity effect with respect to parameters such as body weight, triglycerides, total cholesterol and high-density lipids. Quantification of the faecal triglyceride contents inveterates the potential role of 7r in the PL inhibition. Overall, the synthesized analogue 7r exerted an anti-obesity effect comparable to orlistat. All these results demonstrated the potential role of the newly synthesised indole-thiazolidinedione hybrid analogues in PL inhibition and may be studied further to find potential drug candidates for treating obesity.

description: We present porous electrode theory for capacitive deionization (CDI) with electrodes containing nanoparticles that consist of a redox-active intercalation material. A geometry of a desalination cell is considered which consists of two porous electrodes, two flow channels and an anion-exchange membrane, and we use Nernst-Planck theory to describe ion transport in the aqueous phase in all these layers. A single-salt solution is considered, with unequal diffusion coefficients for anions and cations. Similar to previous models for CDI and electrodialysis, we solve the dynamic two-dimensional equations by assuming that flow of water, and thus the advection of ions, is zero in the electrode, and in the flow channel only occurs in the direction along the electrode and membrane. In all layers, diffusion and migration are only considered in the direction perpendicular to the flow of water. Electronic as well as ionic transport limitations within the nanoparticles are neglected, and instead the Frumkin isotherm (or regular solution model) is used to describe local chemical equilibrium of cations between the nanoparticles and the adjacent electrolyte, as a function of the electrode potential. Our model describes the dynamics of key parameters of the CDI process with intercalation electrodes, such as effluent salt concentration, the distribution of intercalated ions, cell voltage, and energy consumption.

description: The use of mobile phones in poverty reduction and development has ignited much interest over the past decade. To take advantage of the rapid expansion of mobile phones in developing countries, businesses, government agencies and non-governmental organisations are increasingly turning their attention to the delivery of services through mobile phones in areas such as health, education and agriculture. This paper examines how such m-services could be and are already being used to facilitate agricultural technology adoption among farmers in developing countries, including accessing, using and generating income from new technologies. The paper argues that m-services could help to overcome some of the obstacles to technology adoption by facilitating access to information and learning, financial services, and input and output markets. Existing studies assessing the impacts of mobile phones already point to the potential benefits for poverty reduction and rural development. However, there is a risk that the poorest and marginalised may fall behind. Further research is needed to understand how their particular challenges could be addressed through m-services and other support activities, and how they might become active players in the demand for m-services. Such research will need to draw on various disciplines to allow for an analysis of the economic, social and biophysical dimensions of the users, farming contexts and technologies.

description: We use a large sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to calculate galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions in the local Universe. We estimate k-corrections, evolution corrections, and stellar mass-to-light ratios (M/Ls) by fitting the galaxy colors with simple models. Our optical and near-infrared luminosity functions agree with most recent literature optical and near-infrared determinations within the uncertainties. We argue that 2MASS is biased against low surface brightness galaxies, and use SDSS plus our knowledge of stellar populations to estimate that the true K-band luminosity function has a steeper faint end slope than the direct estimate. Assuming a universally-applicable stellar initial mass function (IMF), we derive the stellar mass function of galaxies. The faint end slope slope for the stellar mass function is steeper than -1.1, reflecting the low stellar M/Ls characteristic of low-mass galaxies. We estimate an upper limit to the stellar mass density in the local Universe Omega* h = 0.0020+/-0.0006 by assuming an IMF as rich in low-mass stars as allowed by observations of galaxy dynamics. Finally, we find that the characteristic luminosity or mass of early-type galaxies is larger than for later types, and the faint end slope is steeper for later types than for earlier types. Accounting for typing uncertainties, we estimate that at least half, and perhaps as much as 3/4, of the stellar mass in the Universe is in early-type galaxies. We present also SDSS/2MASS color-M/L correlations, an updated discussion of near-infrared stellar M/L estimates, and the volume-corrected distribution of g and K-band stellar M/Ls as a function of stellar mass.

description: We study a model for the gel degradation by an enzyme, where the gel is schematized as a cubic lattice, and the enzyme as a random walker, that cuts the bonds over which it passes. The model undergoes a (reverse) percolation transition, which for low density of enzymes falls in a universality class different from random percolation. In particular we have measured a gel fraction critical exponent beta=1.0+-0.1, in excellent agreement with experiments made on the real system.

description: Aim: Trichostatin A (TSA) has been shown to mitigate whole body γ-radiation induced morbidity and mortality. The current study aimed at studying the effects of TSA post irradiation treatment on gut-microbiota, especially translocation of the microbes from intestine to other organs in C57 Bl/6 mice model. Materials and Methods: On 1st, 3rd 5th 7th 9th 12th and 14th days after various treatments bacteria were isolated from intestine and nearby organs (mesenteric lymph node, spleen and liver) for further analysis. Jejunum part of all animals was processed for histological analysis. Results: The group radiation + drug showed reduced susceptibility to radiation injury as well as microbiota related anomalies compared to the irradiated alone group. This was described by increased microflora in different parts of GI tract in radiation + drug group compared to irradiated group and reduced histopathological damages in the jejunum. Also a reduced percentage of translocated bacteria were found in different organs of radiation + drug group animals. Conclusion: TSA treatment post irradiation could effectively control bacterial translocation as well as GI injury in mice.

description: The strict opositivity of 4th order symmetric tensor may apply to detect vacuum stability of general scalar potential. For finding analytical expressions of (strict) opositivity of 4th order symmetric tensor, we may reduce its order to 3rd order to better deal with it. So, it is provided that several analytically sufficient conditions for the copositivity of 3th order 2 dimensional (3 dimensional) symmetric tensors. Subsequently, applying these conclusions to 4th order tensors, the analytically sufficient conditions of copositivity are proved for 4th order 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional symmetric tensors. Finally, we apply these results to present analytical vacuum stability conditions for vacuum stability for $\mathbb{Z}_3$ scalar dark matter.

The Politics of the Fight against Food Price Volatility – Where do we stand and where are we heading?

description: The paper reviews and evaluates the global political discussions of G-8 and G-20 Member countries on food security and food price volatility since the L’Aquila Initiative in 2009. It shows that some progress was achieved with respect to better coordination of agricultural policies and stricter regulation of financial markets, especially at the 2011 Cannes Summit Meeting of the G-20. However, no agreement was reached in areas crucial for food security such as biofuel mandates or agricultural trade policies. A discretionary approach towards stabilizing food prices may, however, rather exacerbate than mitigate volatility. Regarding financial markets the respective initiatives of the US and the EU prove the willingness of the executive to control excessive speculation, but the legislative procedure has not been completed, and interest groups are working to water down the proposed provisions. In the preparations for the upcoming G-8 and G-20 Meetings no new impulses for food security are discernable. The priority lists are topped by macro-economic issues. Under these circumstances developing countries will have no choice but to forge new alliances to bring the food security issue back to the global agenda.

description: The onset of a pre-replication complex on origin commences DNA replication. The Origin recognition complex (Orc), Cell division cycle protein 6 (Cdc6), and the minichromosome maintenance (Mcm) replicative helicase, along with Chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1 (Cdt1), make up the pre-replication complex in eukaryotes. Eukaryotic Orc is made up of six subunits, designated Orc1-6 while monomeric Cdc6 has sequence similarity with Orc1. However, Orc has remained unexplored in the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Here we report a single functional Orc1/Cdc6 protein in E. histolytica. Its structural and functional aspects have been highlighted by a detailed in silico analysis that reflects physicochemical characteristics, predictive 3D structure modelling, protein-protein interaction studies, molecular docking and simulation. This in silico study provides insight into EhOrc1/Cdc6 and points out that E. histolytica carries pre-replication machinery that is less complex than higher eukaryotes and closer to archaea. Additionally, it lays the groundwork for future investigations into the methods of origin recognition, and anomalies of cell cycle observed in this enigmatic parasite.
