description: We present the results of CO interferometric observations of the southern elliptical galaxy NGC3557 with ALMA. We have detected both the CO(1-0) emission line and a relatively strong continuum at 3mm. The continuum shows a flat-spectrum central unresolved source (at our angular resolution of 0.7arcsec) and two jets, associated with the larger scale emission observed at lower frequencies. The molecular gas in NGC3557 appears to be concentrated within 250 pc of the center, and shows evidence of organized rotation along the same axis as the stellar component and the symmetry axis of the nuclear dust absorption reported in the literature. We obtained M$_{H_2}$=(9.0$\pm$2.0)x10$^7$ M$_\odot$ of molecular gas, which has an average CO(2-1) to CO(1-0) line ratio of 0.7, which is relatively high when compared with the values reported in the literature for bona-fide ellipticals observed with single-dish telescopes. NGC3557 shows further a high excitation peak (i.e., CO(2-1)/CO(1-0) ~ 1.1$\pm$0.3 offset 0.7 arcsec from the center, which appears to be associated with a region of higher velocity dispersion that does not share the overall rotation pattern of the molecular gas, but aligned with the radio jet. The molecular gas disk in this object appears to be stable to local gravitational instabilities.

description: In this work the possibility of detecting the presence of a Yukawa term, as an additional contribution to the usual Newtonian gravitational potential, is introduced. The central idea is to analyze the effects at quantum level employing interference patterns (at this respect the present proposal resembles the Colella, Overhauser and Werner experiment), and deduce from it the possible effects that this Yukawa term could have. We will prove that the corresponding interference pattern depends on the phenomenological parameters that define this kind of terms. Afterwards, using the so called restricted path integral formalism, the case of a particle whose position is being continuously monitored, is analyzed, and the effects that this Yukawa potential could have on the measurement outputs are obtained. This allows us to obtain another scheme that could lead to the detection of these terms. This last part also renders new theoretical predictions that could enable us to confront the restricted path integral formalism against some future experiments.

description: Data de-duplication is the task of detecting multiple records that correspond to the same real-world entity in a database. In this work, we view de-duplication as a clustering problem where the goal is to put records corresponding to the same physical entity in the same cluster and putting records corresponding to different physical entities into different clusters. We introduce a framework which we call promise correlation clustering. Given a complete graph $G$ with the edges labelled $0$ and $1$, the goal is to find a clustering that minimizes the number of $0$ edges within a cluster plus the number of $1$ edges across different clusters (or correlation loss). The optimal clustering can also be viewed as a complete graph $G^*$ with edges corresponding to points in the same cluster being labelled $0$ and other edges being labelled $1$. Under the promise that the edge difference between $G$ and $G^*$ is "small", we prove that finding the optimal clustering (or $G^*$) is still NP-Hard. [Ashtiani et. al, 2016] introduced the framework of semi-supervised clustering, where the learning algorithm has access to an oracle, which answers whether two points belong to the same or different clusters. We further prove that even with access to a same-cluster oracle, the promise version is NP-Hard as long as the number queries to the oracle is not too large ($o(n)$ where $n$ is the number of vertices). Given these negative results, we consider a restricted version of correlation clustering. As before, the goal is to find a clustering that minimizes the correlation loss. However, we restrict ourselves to a given class $\mathcal F$ of clusterings. We offer a semi-supervised algorithmic approach to solve the restricted variant with success guarantees.

description: The radiation force on a single electron in an ultraintense plane wave ($a = eE/mcω\sim 1$) is calculated and shown to be proportional to $a^4$ in the high-$a$ limit for arbitrary waveform and polarization. The cyclotron motion of an electron in a constant magnetic field and an ultraintense plane wave is numerically found to be quasiperiodic even in the high-$a$ limit if the magnetic field is not too strong, as suggested by previous analytical work. A strong magnetic field causes highly chaotic electron motion and the boundary of the highly chaotic region of parameter space is determined numerically. Applications to experiments and astrophysics are briefly discussed.

description: Gassensoren, deren Messprinzip auf der Ausbildung von Mischpotentialen basieren, besitzen das Potential, Gaskomponenten selektiv und empfindlich zu detektieren. Vor allem sind die dabei verwendeten Materialien stabil gegenüber dem Abgas von Verbrennungsprozessen. Dennoch existiert praktisch kein kommerziell erhältliches System. Eine mögliche Ursache könnte sein, dass keine quantitative Beschreibung des seit Jahrzehnten untersuchten Sensorprinzips existiert. In dieser Arbeit wird daher der Aufbau eines FEM-Modells beschrieben, welches in der Lage ist, die Signale von Mischpotential-Sensoren quantitativ zu beschreiben. Hierfür wird zunächst die Entwicklung eines neuartigen Sensorprinzips dargelegt. Es gewährleistet reproduzierbare Messungen mit deren Hilfe ein umfassendes Verständnis der Einflussfaktoren und Wirkungsketten der Mischpotential-Bildung erlangt wird. Ebenso wird eine elektrochemische Charakterisierung der Sensoren durchgeführt, um die Mechanismen qualitativ zu validieren und um elektrochemische Parameter abzuschätzen. Zuletzt wird das Modell detailliert beschrieben und die errechneten Ergebnisse mit Messdaten verglichen. Die Präzision des Modells ermöglicht es außerdem, weiterführende Betrachtungen hinsichtlich der Adsorptionskinetik sowie hinsichtlich der komplexen Mechanismen in Analytgemischen vorzunehmen.

description: Cu_{2}(1,4-diazacycloheptane)_{2}Cl_{4} contains double chains of spin 1/2 Cu^{2+} ions. We report ac susceptibility, specific heat, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements on this material. The magnetic susceptibility, $χ(T)$, shows a rounded maximum at T = 8 K indicative of a low dimensional antiferromagnet with no zero field magnetic phase transition. We compare the $χ(T)$ data to exact diagonalization results for various one dimensional spin Hamiltonians and find excellent agreement for a spin ladder with intra-rung coupling $J_1 = 1.143(3)$ meV and two mutually frustrating inter-rung interactions: $J_2 = 0.21(3)$ meV and $J_3 = 0.09(5)$ meV. The specific heat in zero field is exponentially activated with an activation energy $Δ= 0.89(1)$ meV. A spin gap is also found through inelastic neutron scattering on powder samples which identify a band of magnetic excitations for $0.8 < \hbarω< 1.5$ meV. Using sum-rules we derive an expression for the dynamic spin correlation function associated with non-interacting propagating triplets in a spin ladder. The van-Hove singularities of such a model are not observed in our scattering data indicating that magnetic excitations in Cu_{2}(1,4-diazacycloheptane)_{2}Cl_{4} are more complicated. For magnetic fields above $H_{c1} \simeq 7.2$ T specific heat data versus temperature show anomalies indicating a phase transition to an ordered state below T = 1 K.

description: Covid-19 has had a big impact on many aspects of our life, including mental health. Since the start of the pandemic, a whole body of Belgian research has been performed on the relation between covid-19 and mental health (care). The mental health & covid-19 working group of the superior health council lists these studies in order to provide advice to policy makers and the general public. The first advisory report focused on international literature on contagious outbreaks, since not many studies on covid-19 and, especially, not many Belgian studies were published yet. This advice can be found here: https://www.health.belgium.be/en/report-9589-mental-health-and-covid-19 As part of the work performed in the first advisory report, the Policy Coordination Working group has asked the Superior Health Council to list all Belgian studies investigating the relation between covid-19 and mental health and/or mental health care and to provide regular updates. The superior Health Council, therefore, started the project of the Belgian mental health data repository. This repository will consist of ongoing studies, preliminary results, accepted and published articles with a Belgian population. For each study, an overview will be given of the authors (including contact details), level of evidence and a short description of the study. The Belgian Mental Health Data Repository will allow for other researchers, policy makers, health care providers and the general public to have a better idea of and easier access to the mental health studies in Belgium. Additionally, more in-depth analyses across studies can be facilitated leading to better insights into the impact of covid-19 on mental health. An update of the living document will be published weekly. Below the Seventh version of the living document can be found.

description: In an attempt to synthesise new tyrosinase inhibitors, we designed and synthesised a series of chalcone-hydroxypyridinone hybrids as potential tyrosinase inhibitors adopting strategic modifications of kojic acid. All the newly synthesised compounds were characterised by NMR and mass spectrometry. Initial screening of the target compounds demonstrated that compounds 1a, 1d, and 1n had relatively strong inhibitory activities against tyrosinase monophenolase, with IC50 values of 3.07 ± 0.85, 2.25 ± 0.8 and 2.75 ± 1.19 μM, respectively. The inhibitory activity against monophenolase was 6- to 8-fold higher than that of kojic acid. Compounds 1a, 1d, and 1n also showed inhibition of diphenolase, with IC50 values of 17.05 ± 0.07, 11.70 ± 0.03 and 19.3 ± 0.28 μM, respectively. The inhibition kinetics of diphenolase indicates that compounds 1a and 1d induce reversible inhibition on tyrosinase. Finally, we found that copper coordination should be one of the important inhibitory mechanism of these compounds in tyrosinase.

description: We reinvestigate the utility of time-independent constant mean curvature foliations for the numerical simulation of a single spherically-symmetric black hole. Each spacelike hypersurface of such a foliation is endowed with the same constant value of the trace of the extrinsic curvature tensor, $K$. Of the three families of $K$-constant surfaces possible (classified according to their asymptotic behaviors), we single out a sub-family of singularity-avoiding surfaces that may be particularly useful, and provide an analytic expression for the closest approach such surfaces make to the singularity. We then utilize a non-zero shift to yield families of $K$-constant surfaces which (1) avoid the black hole singularity, and thus the need to excise the singularity, (2) are asymptotically null, aiding in gravity wave extraction, (3) cover the physically relevant part of the spacetime, (4) are well behaved (regular) across the horizon, and (5) are static under evolution, and therefore have no ``grid stretching/sucking'' pathologies. Preliminary numerical runs demonstrate that we can stably evolve a single spherically-symmetric static black hole using this foliation. We wish to emphasize that this coordinatization produces $K$-constant surfaces for a single black hole spacetime that are regular, static and stable throughout their evolution.

description: I present, in any D$\geq$4, closed-form type B conformal anomaly effective actions incorporating the logarithmic scaling cutoff dependence that generates these anomalies. Their construction is based on a novel class of Weyl-invariant tensor operators. The only known type A actions in D$\geq$4 are extensions of the Polyakov integral in D=2; despite contrary appearances, we show that their nonlocality does not conflict with general anomaly requirements. They are, however, physically unsatisfactory, prompting a brief attempt at better versions.

description: Hydroxyalkyl-functionalized organosilicon compounds have been prepared from hydrogen-containing organosilicon compounds by hydrosilylation. Various carboxyalkyl-modified organosilicon compounds were then prepared by reacting the hydroxyalkyl-functionalized organosilicon compounds with various cyclic acid anhydrides under solvent and catalyst free. The effects of the nature of the hydroxyalkyl functional groups and the structure of the organosilicon compounds on the ring-opening reaction have been investigated. The synthesized carboxyalkyl-modified organosilicon compounds have been used to treat cotton fabric samples, and the effects of their structures on the softness, whiteness, breaking strength, hydrophilicity, and fiber surface morphology of the cotton have been studied.

description: The mathematical properties of the new analytic running coupling (NARC) in QCD are investigated. This running coupling naturally arises under ``analytization'' of the renormalization group equation. One of the crucial points in our consideration is the relation established between the NARC and its inverse function. The latter is expressed in terms of the so-called Lambert $W$ function. This relation enables one to present explicitly the NARC in the renorminvariant form and to derive the corresponding $β$ function. The asymptotic behavior of this $β$ function is examined. The consistent estimation of the parameter $Λ_{QCD}$ is given.

description: The control landscape of a quantum system $A$ interacting with another quantum system $B$ is studied. Only system $A$ is accessible through time dependent controls, while system B is not accessible. The objective is to find controls that implement a desired unitary transformation on $A$, regardless of the evolution on $B$, at a sufficiently large final time. The freedom in the evolution on $B$ is used to define an \emph{extended control landscape} on which the critical points are investigated in terms of kinematic and dynamic gradients. A spectral decomposition of the corresponding extended unitary system simplifies the landscape analysis which provides: (i) a sufficient condition on the rank of the dynamic gradient of the extended landscape that guarantees a trap free search for the final time unitary matrix of system $A$, and (ii) a detailed decomposition of the components of the overall dynamic gradient matrix. Consequently, if the rank condition is satisfied, a gradient algorithm will find the controls that implements the target unitary on system $A$. It is shown that even if the dynamic gradient with respect to the controls alone is not full rank, the additional flexibility due to the parameters that define the extended landscape still can allow for the rank condition of the extended landscape to hold. Moreover, satisfaction of the latter rank condition subsumes any assumptions about controllability, reachability and control resources. Here satisfaction of the rank condition is taken as an assumption. The conditions which ensure that it holds remain an open research question. We lend some numerical support with two common examples for which the rank condition holds.

description: Engaging students in processes of mathematizing and active knowledge organization (instead of telling and rehearsing ready-made mathematics) is a key demand for high quality mathematics instruction. Although many mathematically rich context problems have been designed and published in textbooks, their impact on regular mathematics classrooms remains limited, as teachers face challenges in shaping and enacting the important phase of knowledge organization. The 15-year project KOSIMA presented in this paper was aimed at supporting teachers in really enhancing these processes by means of a textbook for Grades 5–10. The paper provides an overview of different studies conducted during the project in order to show how the project developed a research base for the support of teachers. The paper also shows that different research approaches need to be combined to establish an appropriate research base: In iterative design research cycles of topic-specific didactical design research, learning environments were designed and investigated with the aim of understanding the obstacles encountered in implementing the desired processes. In this paper, we focus on an example of one particular obstacle, namely, teachers’ need of support in engaging students in processes of active knowledge organization. This obstacle was overcome by developing new types of tasks for active knowledge organization. The theoretical outcome of the design research resulted in two hypotheses for improving relevant features of the design of these tasks, which were tested in two controlled trials. Finally, a longitudinal field study of 312 students gave first indications that the classes that worked with the textbook had significantly higher learning gains than classes using other textbooks. In sum, we can show that textbooks can support changes in classroom practices when the obstacles that occur for both teachers and students are carefully investigated and treated.

description: This dissertation consists of four chapters. The first broadly and briefly orients the reader through an introduction to holographic complexity within the AdS/CFT correspondence. The next three chapters correspond to distinct lines of research conducted during my time as a graduate student, chosen for their thematic relation to holographic complexity, and particularly the two conjectures known as "complexity equals volume" (CV), and "complexity equals action" (CA). Chapter two is based on work conducted with Josiah Couch, Willy Fischler, and Ming-Lei Xiao, studying the holographic complexity of noncommutative field theories under the CA conjecture [1]. Chapter three is based on work with Josiah Couch, Phuc Nguyen, and Ted Jacobson, studying general aspects of the CV conjecture, and addressing certain challenges to that proposal [2]. Chapter four is based on work with Elena Caceres, Josiah Couch, and Willy Fischler, testing proposed extensions of both CA and CV that apply them to subsystem complexity [3].

description:
Globally, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading infectious causes of mortality, with around 4000 deaths daily. Since the emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Africa, the region has experienced a lapse in responses directed at TB control, because the priority has shifted to interventions aimed at managing COVID-19. In addition to an unprecedented burden on the region's already overburdened health systems, another major public health concern is the clinical similarities between COVID-19 and TB, making TB diagnosis increasingly challenging, which may lead to poor prognosis, especially in people with TB and COVID-19 co-infection. A likely implication is that TB patients may stop attending health-care facilities due to fear of contracting or being diagnosed with COVID-19 or to avoid being stigmatized, invariably resulting in a disruption in their access to health-care services. Therefore, massive global support should be provided for TB endemic countries to respond synergistically and strongly to the thousands of TB cases as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: We investigate the non-self-averaging properties of the dynamics of Ising, 4-state Potts and 10-state Potts models in single-cluster Monte Carlo simulations on quenched ensembles of planar, trivalent Phi3 random graphs, which we use as an example of relevant quenched connectivity disorder. We employ a novel application of scaling techniques to the cumulative probability distribution of the autocorrelation times for both the energy and magnetisation in order to discern non-self-averaging. Although the specific results discussed here are for quenched random graphs, the method has quite general applicability.

description: Background: Paclitaxel has recently been approved for AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and there is much interest also in HIV-negative KS. Objective: To assess the safety and effectiveness of intravenous paclitaxel in the treatment of non-HIV-associated KS. Method: A retrospective database analysis of our departmental database in histologically proven, HIV-negative KS. Results: Fifty-eight patients treated with intravenous paclitaxel 100 mg weekly were identified. Among these patients, 11 patients underwent paclitaxel as first-line treatment, whereas 47 received paclitaxel after other types of systemic chemotherapy. Fifty-three (94.6%) patients achieved a partial or a complete remission after a mean of 13.5 infusions. Disease progression was observed in two patients and one patient had a stable disease. Thirty-one (58.5%) of 53 responding patients are still stable after a mean of 19.1 months of follow-up, while 22 (41.5%) patients relapsed after a mean of 14 months. Paclitaxel was repeated in relapsed patients obtaining PR/CR in all cases. Tolerance was good except for one patient who discontinued the treatment because of a severe allergic reaction. Conclusion: Paclitaxel is effective for the treatment of non-HIV-related KS, both as first- and as second-line treatment. It is well tolerated and can be repeated without loss of efficacy.
Power, energy, and spectrum of a naked singularity explosion

description: Naked singularity occurs in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust ball from an initial density profile which is physically reasonable. We show that explosive radiation is emitted during the formation process of the naked singularity. The energy flux is proportional to $(t_{\rm CH}-t)^{-3/2}$ for a minimally coupled massless scalar field, while is proportional to $(t_{\rm CH}-t)^{-1}$ for a conformally coupled massless scalar field, where $t_{\rm CH}-t$ is the `remained time' until the distant observer could observe the singularity if the naked singularity was formed. As a consequence, the radiated energy grows unboundedly for both scalar fields. The amount of the power and the energy depends on parameters which characterize the initial density profile but do not depend on the gravitational mass of the cloud. In particular, there is characteristic frequency $ν_{s}$ of singularity above which the divergent energy is radiated. The energy flux is dominated by particles of which the wave length is about $t_{\rm CH}-t$ at each moment. The observed total spectrum is nonthermal, i.e., $νdN/dν\sim (ν/ν_{s})^{-1}$ for $ν>ν_{s}$. If the naked singularity formation could continue until a considerable fraction of the total energy of the dust cloud is radiated, the radiated energy would reach about $10^{54}(M/M_{\odot})$ erg. The calculations are based on the geometrical optics approximation which turns out to be consistent as a rough order estimate. The analysis does not depend on whether or not the naked singularity occurs in its exact meaning. This phenomenon may provide a new candidate for a source of ultra high energy cosmic rays or a central engine of gamma ray bursts.

description: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a critical DNA repair enzyme in the base excision repair pathway, has been pursued as an attractive cancer therapeutic target. Intervention with PARP-1 has been proved to be more sensitive to cancer cells carrying BRCA1/2 mutations. Several PARP-1 inhibitors have been available on market for the treatment of breast, ovarian and prostatic cancer. Promisingly, the newly developed proteolysis targeting chimaeras (PROTACs) may provide a more potential strategy based on the degradation of PARP-1. Here we report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a proteolysis targeting chimaera (PROTAC) based on the combination of PARP-1 inhibitor olaparib and the CRBN (cereblon) ligand lenalidomide. In SW620 cells, our probe-quality degrader compound 2 effectively induced PARP-1 degradation which results in anti-proliferation, cells apoptosis, cell cycle arresting, and cancer cells migratory inhibition. Thus, our findings qualify a new chemical probe for PARP-1 knockdown.

description: Current theories of particle physics lead to the unavoidable conclusion that there must have been several phase transitions in the early universe. Further, in the context of these theories, it is possible that cosmological phase transitions would have produced topological defects that may be roaming our heavens today. A finding of these fossils from the early universe would provide a direct confirmation of the thermal history of the cosmos, insight into astrophysical phenomena, and, vital information about particle physics. The elimination of unobserved topological defects provides important constraints on particle physics and may also suggest novel cosmology. I describe some of the research on cosmic topological defects and recent efforts to address cosmological issues in condensed matter systems. (Invited article for publication in Contemporary Physics.)

description: We argue that long-range Coulomb forces convert an isolated (N,N) armchair carbon nanotube into a strongly-renormalized *Luttinger liquid*. At high temperatures, we find anomalous temperature dependences for the interaction and impurity contributions to the resistivity, and similar power-law dependences for the local tunneling density of states. At low temperatures, the nanotube exhibits spin-charge separation, visible as an extra energy scale in the discrete tunneling density of states (for which we give an analytic form), signaling a departure from the orthodox theory of Coulomb blockade.
