description: In this paper, we present quantitative constraints on the scalar field potential for a general class of inflationary models. (1) We first consider the reconstruction of the inflationary potential for given primordial density fluctuation spectra. Our work differs from previous work on reconstruction in that we find a semi-analytic solution for the potential for the case of density fluctuations with power-law spectra. In addition, for the case of more general spectra, we show how constraints on the density fluctuation spectra imply corresponding constraints on the potential. We present a series of figures which show how the shape of the potential depends on the shape of the perturbation spectrum and on the relative contribution of tensor modes. (2) We show that the average ratio $\rave$ of the amplitude of tensor perturbations (gravity wave perturbations) to scalar density perturbations is bounded from above: $\rave \le$ 1.6. We also show that the ratio $\rave$ is proportional to the change $Δϕ$ in the field: $\rave \approx 0.42 Δϕ/\mp$. Thus, if tensor perturbations are important for the formation of structure, then the width $Δϕ$ must be comparable to the Planck mass. (3) We constrain the change $ΔV$ of the potential and the change $Δϕ$ of the inflation field during the portion of inflation when cosmological structure is produced. We find both upper and lower bounds for $Δϕ$ and for $ΔV$. In addition, these constraints are then used to derive a bound on the scale $Λ$, which is the scale of the height of the potential

description: V923 Sco is a bright ($V$ = 5.91), nearby ($π$ = 15.46$\pm$0.40 mas) southern eclipsing binary. Because both components are slow rotators, the minimum masses of the components are known with 0.2% precision from spectroscopy. The system seems ideal for very precise mass, radius, and luminosity determinations and, owing to its proximity and long orbital period ($\sim$ 34.8 days), promises to be resolved with long-baseline interferometry. The principal aim is very accurate determinations of absolute stellar parameters for both components of the eclipsing binary and a model-independent determination of the distance.} New high-precision photometry of both eclipses of V923 Sco with the MOST satellite was obtained. The system was spatially resolved with the VLTI AMBER, PIONIER, and GRAVITY instruments at nine epochs. Combining the projected size of the spectroscopic orbit (in km) and visual orbit (in mas) the distance to the system is derived. Simultaneous analysis of photometric, spectroscopic, and interferometric data was performed to obtain a robust determination of the absolute parameters. Very precise absolute parameters of the components were derived in spite of the parameter correlations. The primary component is found to be overluminous for its mass. Combining spectroscopic and interferometric observations enabled us to determine the distance to V923 Sco with better than 0.2% precision, which provides a stringent test of Gaia parallaxes. It is shown that combining spectroscopic and interferometric observations of nearby eclipsing binaries can lead to extremely accurate parallaxes and stellar parameters.

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis RecA (MtRecA), a protein involved in DNA repair, homologous recombination and SOS pathway, contributes to the development of multidrug resistance. ATP binding-site in RecA has been a drug target to disable RecA dependent DNA repair. For the first time, experiments have shown the existence and binding of c-di-AMP to a novel allosteric site in the C-terminal-Domain (CTD) of Mycobacterium smegmatis RecA (MsRecA), a close homolog of MtRecA. In addition, it was observed that the c-di-AMP was not binding to Escherichia coli RecA (EcRecA). This article analyses the possible interactions of the three RecA homologs with the various c-di-AMP conformations to gain insights into the structural basis of the natural preference of c-di-AMP to MsRecA and not to EcRecA, using the structural biology tools. The comparative analysis, based on amino acid composition, homology, motifs, residue types, docking, molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations, indeed, conclusively indicates strong binding of c-di-AMP to MsRecA. Having very similar results as MsRecA, it is highly plausible for c-di-AMP to strongly bind MtRecA as well. These insights from the in-silico studies adds a new therapeutic approach against TB through design and development of novel allosteric inhibitors for the first time against MtRecA.

description: The two-dimensional (2D) material graphene is highly promising for Hall sensors due to its potential of having high charge carrier mobility and low carrier concentration at room temperature. Here, we report the scalable batch-fabrication of magnetic Hall sensors on graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using commercially available large area CVD grown materials. The all-CVD grown h-BN/graphene/h-BN van der Waals heterostructures were prepared by layer transfer technique and Hall sensors were batch-fabricated with 1D edge metal contacts. The current-related Hall sensitivities up to 97 V/AT are measured at room temperature. The Hall sensors showed robust performance over the wafer scale with stable characteristics over six months in ambient environment. This work opens avenues for further development of growth and fabrication technologies of all-CVD 2D material heterostructures and allows further improvements in Hall sensor performance for practical applications.

description: We present and test the integration of a static orbital angular momentum mode multiplexer with a dynamical geometric-phase optical element enabling on-demand spin-controlled angular momentum multiplexing. A diffractive optics multiplexer fabricated with 3D high-resolution electron beam lithography performs a conformal mapping for the conversion from linear to azimuthal phase gradients. The latter is functionalized by a dynamic spin-orbit add-on that consists of a self-engineered electrically-activated liquid crystal optical vortex generator having large clear-aperture and high-resolution. By combining several functionalities based on the optical angular momentum of light in a compact manner, the proposed hybrid device could find applications in next-generation high-dimensional mode switchers and routers based on orbital angular momentum.

description: Spin collective phenomena including superradiance are even today being intensively investigated with experimental tests performed based on state-of-the-art quantum technologies. Such attempts are not only for the simple experimental verification of predictions from the last century but also as a motivation to explore new applications of spin collective phenomena and the coherent control of the coupling between spin ensembles and reservoirs. In this paper, we investigate the open quantum dynamics of two spin ensembles (double spin domains) coupled to a common bosonic reservoir. We analyze in detail the dynamics of our collective state and its structure by focusing on both the symmetry and asymmetry of this coupled spin system. We find that when the spin size of one of the double domains is larger than that of the other domain, at the steady state this system exhibits two novel collective behaviors: the negative-temperature state relaxation in the smaller spin domain and the reservoir-assisted quantum entanglement between the two domains. These results are the consequence of the asymmetry of this system and the decoherence driven by the common reservoir.

description: Bubbles in a first-order electroweak phase transition are nucleated with radii $R_0$ and expand with velocity $v$. If $v$ is subsonic, a bubble becomes unstable to non-spherical perturbations when its radius is roughly $10^4\, R_0$. These perturbations accelerate the transition, and the effective velocity of bubble growth rapidly becomes supersonic. The transition should subsequently proceed spherically via detonation. If for some reason the onset of detonation is postponed, the surface area of the bubbles may be enhanced by $10^5$. We discuss consequences for electroweak baryogenesis.

The Origin of the Magellanic Stream

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: SHORTENED ABSTRACT: We present numerical investigations designed to critically test models of the origin of the Magellanic Stream. The most developed model is the tidal model which fails to reproduce several of its characteristic properties. We suggest an alternative model for the origin of the Stream which can explain all of its observed features and dynamics, as well as provide a strong constraint on the distribution of gas within the halo of the Milky Way. We propose that the Stream consists of material which was ram-pressure stripped from the Magellanic System during its last passage through an extended ionized disk of the Galaxy. This collision took place some 500 million years ago at a galacto-centric distance of about 65 kpc, and swept $\sim 20$\% of the least bound HI into the Stream. The gas with the lowest column density lost the most orbital angular momentum, and is presently at the tip of the Stream, having fallen to a distance of $\sim 20$ kpc from the Milky Way attaining a negative velocity of 200 \kms. To prevent the stripped material from leading the Magellanic Clouds and attaining too large an infall velocity, we postulate the existence of an extended dilute halo of diffuse ionized gas surrounding the Milky Way. If the halo gas is at the virial temperature of the potential well of the Milky Way, its thermal emission would contribute $\sim$ 40\% of the observed diffuse background radiation in the 0.5-1.0 keV (M) band, consistent with recent ROSAT measurements as well as pulsar dispersion measures.

Mental Health

description: Depressive disorders are among most common psychiatric diseases and second most common form of psychiatric illness globally. Commonly available chemical drugs used for treatment of nervous system disorders exert undesirable effects. Therefore, there is a growing need towards exploring novel antidepressants of herbal origin. Earlier, the antidepressant effect of methanolic extract of garlic has been shown. In this study, the ethanolic extract of garlic was prepared and chemically analysed using Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) screening. A total of 35 compounds were found to be present, which might act as antidepressant. Using computational analyses, these compounds were screened as potential inhibitors (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)) against serotonin transporter (SERT)/leucine receptor (LEUT). In silico docking studies and other physicochemical, bioactivity and ADMET studies resulted in the selection of compound 1 ((2-Cyclohexyl-1-methylpropyl) cyclohexane) as potential SSRI (binding energy −8.1 kcal/mol) compared to known reference SSRI fluoxetine (binding energy −8.0 kcal/mol). Analysis of conformational stability, residue flexibility, compactness, binding interactions, solvent accessible surface area (SASA), dynamic correlation, and binding free energy predicted from molecular mechanics (MD) with generalised Born and surface area solvation (MM/GBSA) studies revealed formation of a more stable SSRI like complex with compound 1 having strong inhibitory interaction compared to known SSRI fluoxetine/reference complex. Thus, compound 1 may act as an active SSRI leading to discovery of potential antidepressant drug. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Cryptocurrencies are examined through the asset flow equations and experimental asset markets. Since tangible value of a typical cryptocurrency is non-existent, the theory suggests that price will gravitate toward liquidity value, i.e., the total amount of cash available for purchase of the asset divided by the number of units. Thus it is unlikely that cryptocurrencies in their current form will be stable in the absence of a mechanism of a link to value.

description: Atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) indium selenide (InSe) has attracted considerable attention due to large tunability in the band gap (from 1.4 to 2.6 eV) and high carrier mobility. The intriguingly high dependence of band gap on layer thickness may lead to novel device applications, although its origin remains poorly understood, and generally attributed to quantum confinement effect. In this work, we demonstrate via first-principles calculations that strong interlayer coupling may be mainly responsible for this phenomenon, especially in the fewer-layer region, and it could also be an essential factor influencing other material properties of β-InSe and γ-InSe. Existence of strong interlayer coupling manifests itself in three aspects: (i) indirect-to-direct band gap transitions with increasing layer thickness; (ii) fan-like frequency diagrams of the shear and breathing modes of few-layer flakes; (iii) strong layer-dependent carrier mobilities. Our results indicate that multiple-layer InSe may be deserving of attention from FET-based technologies and also an ideal system to study interlayer coupling, possibly inherent in other 2D materials.

description: The interaction between the anti-cancer drug Palbociclib (PAL) and calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated using various biophysical techniques in a physiological buffer (pH 7.4). It was found that PAL intercalated into the base pairs of CT-DNA as evidenced from the results of UV-Vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), competitive binding assay with ethidium bromide (EB) and Hoechst 33258, KI quenching study, the effect of denaturing agent and viscosity measurements. The magnitude of binding constants (106 M−1) at different temperatures suggested strong binding between PAL and CT-DNA during complexation. The observed ΔHo > 0 and ΔSo > 0 indicated that the binding process is primarily driven by hydrophobic interactions. Molecular docking studies indicated partial intercalation of pyridopyrimidine ring between the base pairs of DNA. Free energy surface (FES) analysis derived from metadynamics simulation studies revealed the PAL-induced cleavage of DNA, which was confirmed by gel electrophoresis experiments.

description: The two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has attracted widespread attention for its extraordinary electrical, optical, spin and valley related properties. Here, we report on spin polarized tunneling through chemical vapor deposited (CVD) multilayer MoS2 (~7 nm) at room temperature in a vertically fabricated spin-valve device. A tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of 0.5 - 2 % has been observed, corresponding to spin polarization of 5 - 10 % in the measured temperature range of 300 - 75 K. First principles calculations for ideal junctions results in a tunnel magnetoresistance up to 8 %, and a spin polarization of 26 %. The detailed measurements at different temperatures and bias voltages, and density functional theory calculations provide information about spin transport mechanisms in vertical multilayer MoS2 spin-valve devices. These findings form a platform for exploring spin functionalities in 2D semiconductors and understanding the basic phenomenon that control their performance.
Smoking and Smoking Cessation in those with Mental Health Difficulties in Ireland
Creators: name: Burns, Annette

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: There is a higher prevalence of smoking among individuals with mental health difficulties (MHDs) internationally. This thesis aimed to establish impact of smoking on those with MHDs in Ireland in terms of smoking-related diseases and to evaluate current cessation care in both secondary and community mental health (MH) settings, using three interrelated studies guided by the Medical Research Council framework. Methods: Study 1, a cross-sectional retrospective secondary analysis (n=8,175), established the prevalence of smoking and smoking-related disease in a nationally representative sample of community living adults aged 50 and over. Individuals with evidence of MHDs were compared to their general population counterparts through adjusted regression analyses, including mediation and moderation assessments. In study 2 cessation care in MH settings was explored. A survey of inpatients (n=246) with 3-month follow-up established current levels of care and quit rates in a private inpatient setting. Finally, study 3 involved a qualitative process evaluation of the recent implementation of a community-based smoking cessation service in public adult MH centres, involving interviews with 20 service users and 4 focus groups with 17 facilitators. Results: Older adults with MHDs had increased prevalence of smoking ((25-39%) RRRs 1.84 [1.50 to 2.26] to 4.31 [2.47 to 7.53]) and of smoking-related disease ((53-60%) ORs 1.24 [1.01 to 1.51] to 1.62 [1.00 to 2.62]). Very few psychiatric inpatients report cessation advice from any HCP in the past year (13%), but numbers wanting to quit (75%) and 3-month quit rates (17%) are similar to non-psychiatric inpatient samples. Key enablers and barriers emerged at facilitator and participant levels in community MH centres, which also have implications for other settings. Conclusions: Individuals with MHDs are disproportionately impacted by smoking yet remain undertreated. While cessation care is improving in community settings, a joined-up approach across all sectors of the health service is needed.

description: This article examines how the aesthetic design of clinics and interactive discourse 5 and rituals construct the social reality of acupuncture sessions as a form of holistic medical therapy. Verbal and nonverbal interactions create an appealing medical environment but also help prevent the emergence of undesired counter-realities (e.g., pain, biomedical intervention). Based on observations of acupuncture sessions conducted in Galway, Ireland, I illustrate how 10 ambiance and aesthetic elements of clinics create a complex medico-cultural environment that balances oppositional associations (Western=non-Western, exoticism=convention, medical alterity=medical professionalism). Patients inter- viewed continually referred to acupuncture as a natural and non-invasive form of medical treatment. This suggests that interpersonal discourse and aesthetic 15 design play key roles in how patients define acupuncture treatment, and that these ephemeral agents may also influence how patients come to define efficacy.

Here we demonstrate that the control over the bulk and surface contribution is crucial to maximize the charge-to-spin conversion efficiency. We observe an enhancement of the spin signal due to surface-dominated spin polarization while freezing out the bulk conductivity in semiconducting Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3 below 100K. Detailed measurements up to room temperature exhibit a strong reduction of the magnetoresistance signal between 2 and 100K, which we attribute to the thermal excitation of bulk carriers and to the electron-phonon coupling in the surface states. The presence and dominance of this effect up to room temperature is promising for spintronic science and technology.

description: We present a study of the radio emission from rotating, charged dust grains immersed in the ionized gas constituting the thick, H$α$-emitting disk of many spiral galaxies. Using up-to-date optical constants, the charge on the grains exposed to the diffuse galactic UV flux has been calculated. An analytical approximation for the grain charge has been derived, which is then used to obtain the grain rotation frequency. Grains are found to have substantial radio emission peaked at a cutoff frequency in the range 10-100~GHz, depending on the grain size distribution and on the efficiency of the radiative damping of the grain rotation. The dust radio emission is compared to the free-free emission from the ionized gas component; some constraints on the magnetic field strength in the observed dusty filaments are also discussed. The model can be used to test the disk-halo interface environment in spiral galaxies, to determine the amount and size distribution of dust in their ionized component, and to investigate the rotation mechanisms for the dust. Numerical estimates are given for experimental purposes.

description: Many natural products have been shown to possess antiplasmodial activities, but their protein targets are unknown. This work employed molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to explore the inhibitory activity of some antiplasmodial natural products against wild-type and mutant strains of Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (PfDHFR). From the molecular docking study, 6 ligands preferentially bind at the active site of the DHFR domain with binding energies ranging from −6.4 to −9.5 kcal/mol. Interactions of compounds with MET55 and PHE58 were mostly observed in the molecular docking study. From the molecular dynamics study, the binding of 2 of the ligands—nitidine and oplodiol—was observed to be stable against all tested strains of PfDHFR. The average binding free energy of oplodiol in complex with the various PfDHFR strains was −93.701 kJ/mol whereas that of nitidine was −106.206 kJ/mol. The impressive in silico activities of the 2 compounds suggest they could be considered for development as potential antifolate agents. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies suggest oplodiol and nitidine as compounds capable of inhibiting Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase and its variants.

description: In this paper we present new parameters of the TB-SMA interatomic potentials for the Pt/Cu(111) surface alloy. The parameters are fitted using both the experimental and {\it ab initio} data. The potentials reproduce not only the bulk properties of copper and platinum, but also the energy characteristics of the Pt/Cu(111) surface alloy. The potentials can be used for the simulations of the growth of the Pt/Cu(111) surface alloy on the atomic scale.

description: The first two years of COBE DMR observations of the CMB anisotropy are analyzed and compared with our previously published first year results. The results are consistent, but the addition of the second year of data increases the precision and accuracy of the detected CMB temperature fluctuations. The two-year 53 GHz data are characterized by RMS temperature fluctuations of DT=44+/-7 uK at 7 degrees and DT=30.5+/-2.7 uK at 10 degrees angular resolution. The 53X90 GHz cross-correlation amplitude at zero lag is C(0)^{1/2}=36+/-5 uK (68%CL) for the unsmoothed 7 degree DMR data. A likelihood analysis of the cross correlation function, including the quadrupole anisotropy, gives a most likely quadrupole-normalized amplitude Q_{rms-PS}=12.4^{+5.2}_{-3.3} uK (68% CL) and a spectral index n=1.59^{+0.49}_{-0.55} for a power law model of initial density fluctuations, P(k)~k^n. With n fixed to 1.0 the most likely amplitude is 17.4 +/-1.5 uK (68% CL). Excluding the quadrupole anisotropy we find Q_{rms-PS}= 16.0^{+7.5}_{-5.2} uK (68% CL), n=1.21^{+0.60}_{-0.55}, and, with n fixed to 1.0 the most likely amplitude is 18.2+/-1.6 uK (68% CL). Monte Carlo simulations indicate that these derived estimates of n may be biased by ~+0.3 (with the observed low value of the quadrupole included in the analysis) and {}~+0.1 (with the quadrupole excluded). Thus the most likely bias-corrected estimate of n is between 1.1 and 1.3. Our best estimate of the dipole from the two-year DMR data is 3.363+/-0.024 mK towards Galactic coordinates (l,b)= (264.4+/-0.2 degrees, +48.1+/-0.4 degrees), and our best estimate of the RMS quadrupole amplitude in our sky is 6+/-3 uK.
description: Accepted by the Astrophysical Journal. Modifications include the addition of a quadrupole- removed correlation function and an analysis of the technique bias on the power spectral index, n. The most likely, de-biased, estimate of n is between 1.1 and 1.3. 57 pages of uu-encoded postscript (incl 3 b&w figures)

description: We study Wilson surface defects in 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ superconformal field theories, engineered by semi-infinite M2-branes intersecting M5-branes. Two independent approaches are used to obtain the Wilson surface observables on the $T^2$ inside Omega-deformed $\mathbf{R}^4 \times T^2$. One approach is to compute 5d $\mathcal{N}=1^*$ instanton partition functions in the presence of Wilson lines, where the instanton corrections capture the 6d Kaluza-Klein momentum modes. The other approach is to study the elliptic genera of 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ gauge theories, which we propose as describing 6d self-dual strings in the presence of Wilson surface defects. We make a detailed comparison between these two independent computations, which precisely agree for Wilson surfaces in minuscule representations; for non-minuscule representations instead we only find partial agreement, due to technical problems which we comment about.

Spontaneous CP violation in Supersymmetric theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the minimal version of the supersymmetric standard model with spontaneous CP breaking. In this model, the KM matrix is real and contributions to $\varepsilon$ arise from box diagrams involving squarks. We analyze the region of the parameter space which corresponds to values for $\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon^\prime/\varepsilon$ and the neutron electric dipole moment (NEDM) in agreement with the experimental data. We show that the CP violating phases must be of $\calo (10^{-2})$ and the NEDM lies near its present experimental limit.

description: In high-dimensional statistical inference in which the number of parameters to be estimated is larger than that of the holding data, regularized linear estimation techniques are widely used. These techniques have, however, some drawbacks. First, estimators are biased in the sense that their absolute values are shrunk toward zero because of the regularization effect. Second, their statistical properties are difficult to characterize as they are given as numerical solutions to certain optimization problems. In this manuscript, we tackle such problems concerning LASSO, which is a widely used method for sparse linear estimation, when the measurement matrix is regarded as a sample from a rotationally invariant ensemble. We develop a new computationally feasible scheme to construct a de-biased estimator with a confidence interval and conduct hypothesis testing for the null hypothesis that a certain parameter vanishes. It is numerically confirmed that the proposed method successfully de-biases the LASSO estimator and constructs confidence intervals and p-values by experiments for noisy linear measurements.
