description: Gum Arabic (GA [Acacia Senegal]) is a complex polysaccharide used in folk medicinal practices to treat chronic renal failure (CRF).The effect of GA was studied in the 5/6 nephrectomy model. GA was given to rats in the drinking water at doses of 3 or 6 g/100 mL/day for five consecutive weeks. The increases in the concentrations of urea and creatinine were decreased by about 8 and 13% with doses of 3 and 6 g/100 mL/day of GA in the drinking water, respectively. In adenine – induced model of CRF, GA (6% and 12% w/v in drinking water) markedly reduced the renal damage and significantly ameliorated the adverse biochemical alterations indicative of renal failure. It abated the decrease in body weight and reduced the glomerular, tubular and interstitial lesions induced by adenine. GA also attenuated the biochemical indices indicative of renal damage. It also significantly reversed the decrease in motor activity and increased immobility time in forced swimming test, suggesting an amelioration of the adenine - induced depressant-like action. Adenine induced CRF resulted in several alterations in the cardiovascular system (CVS). Adenine significantly increased both systolic and diastolic BP, with no significant effect on HR. These effects were significantly mitigated by GA treatment. GA also ameliorated the histological, histochemical and morphometric renal and cardiac changes, as well as the DNA damage induced by adenine .Adenine treatment also increased the concentrations of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and the oxidative stress markers such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase, renal apoptosis, superoxide formation and DNA double strand break frequency. It also caused oxidative stress and DNA damage. Treatment with GA (15%, w/v) significantly ameliorated these actions.GA also abated the anaemia induced by adenine treatment. The mechanism of the reported salutary effects of GA in adenine-induced CRF is associated with mitigation of the adenine-induced inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis.

description: Despite showing increasingly human-like abilities, large language models (LLMs) often struggle with factual inaccuracies, i.e. "hallucinations", even when they hold relevant knowledge. To address these hallucinations, current approaches typically necessitate high-quality human factuality annotations. In this work, we explore Self-Alignment for Factuality, where we leverage the self-evaluation capability of an LLM to provide training signals that steer the model towards factuality. Specifically, we incorporate Self-Eval, a self-evaluation component, to prompt an LLM to validate the factuality of its own generated responses solely based on its internal knowledge. Additionally, we design Self-Knowledge Tuning (SK-Tuning) to augment the LLM's self-evaluation ability by improving the model's confidence estimation and calibration. We then utilize these self-annotated responses to fine-tune the model via Direct Preference Optimization algorithm. We show that the proposed self-alignment approach substantially enhances factual accuracy over Llama family models across three key knowledge-intensive tasks on TruthfulQA and BioGEN.

description: Food byproducts valorization practices have gained much attention lately as a means of sustainable management, which can increase the profit for local economies. So far, these materials constitute an underexploited source for the recovery and production of natural compounds for food and other multiple industrial applications. The annual production of large waste quantities by the food processing industries creates serious problems as a consequence of the absence of efficient policies regarding their disposal. When considering their high production volumes and their nutritional content, these byproducts become an important subject for valorization. The value of food byproducts is associated with their content in dietary fibers and several bioactive molecules which can be capitalized in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutraceutical industries. In our laboratories several conventional and emerging methods are being used in order to valorize different food byproducts such as in grapes, oranges and olives industries. The main molecules extracted and purified are polyphenols, essential oils and pectins. Our state-of-the-art technology and expertise could be properly applied on other food byproducts from the Middle East, especially that tons of these byproducts are annually produced in this region.

description: Ground state preparation is classically intractable for general Hamiltonians. On quantum devices, shallow parameterized circuits can be effectively trained to obtain short-range entangled states under the paradigm of variational quantum eigensolver, while deep circuits are generally untrainable due to the barren plateau phenomenon. In this Letter, we give a general lower bound on the variance of circuit gradients for arbitrary quantum circuits composed of local 2-designs. Based on our unified framework, we prove the absence of barren plateaus in training finite local-depth circuits (FLDC) for the ground states of local Hamiltonians. FLDCs are allowed to be deep in the conventional circuit depth to generate long-range entangled ground states, such as topologically ordered states, but their local depths are finite, i.e., there is only a finite number of gates acting on individual qubits. This characteristic sets FLDC apart from shallow circuits: FLDC in general cannot be classically simulated to estimate local observables efficiently by existing tensor network methods in two and higher dimensions. We validate our analytical results with extensive numerical simulations and demonstrate the effectiveness of variational training using the generalized toric code model.

description: Background The implementation of emission mitigation policies in Europe over the last two decades has generally improved the air quality, which resulted in lower aerosol particle mass, particle number, and black carbon mass concentration. However, little is known whether the decreasing particle concentrations at a lower-altitude level can be observed in the free troposphere (FT), an important layer of the atmosphere, where aerosol particles have a longer lifetime and may affect climate dynamics. In this study, we used data from two high-Alpine observatories, Zugspitze-Schneefernerhaus (ZSF) and Jungfraujoch (JFJ), to assess the long-term trends on size-resolved particle number concentrations (PNCs) and equivalent black carbon (eBC) mass concentration separated for undisturbed lower FT conditions and under the influence of air from the planetary boundary layer (PBL) from 2009 to 2018. Results The FT and PBL-influenced conditions were segregated for both sites. We found that the FT conditions in cold months were more prevalent than in warm months, while the measured aerosol parameters showed different seasonal patterns for the FT and PBL-influenced conditions. The pollutants in the PBL-influenced condition have a higher chance to be transported to high-altitudes due to the mountainous topography, leading to a higher concentration and more distinct seasonal variation, and vice versa. The long-term trends of the measured aerosol parameters were evaluated and the decreased aerosol concentrations were observed for both FT and PBL-influenced conditions. The observed decreasing trends in eBC concentration in the PBL-influenced condition are well consistent with the reported trends in total BC emission in Germany and Switzerland. The decreased concentrations in the FT condition suggest that the background aerosol concentration in the lower FT over Central Europe has correspondingly decreased. The change of back trajectories in the FT condition at ZSF and JFJ was further evaluated to investigate the other possible drivers for the decreasing trends. Conclusions The background aerosol concentration in the lower FT over Central Europe has significantly decreased during 2009-2018. The implementation of emission mitigation policies is the most decisive factor and the decrease of the regional airmass occurrence over Central Europe also has contributed to the decreasing trends. © 2021, The Author(s)

description: Our work aims to perform a green valorization of vine shoots, effective on economic, industrial, environmental, safety and health levels. In fact, applying the principles of green chemistry on the extraction of phenolic compounds from vine shoots helps minimize the environmental and health impact resulting from the use of solvents in chemical production. Among a variety of 15 green organic solvents and their mixtures, all considered to be as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) solvents, 70% Acetone turned out to have the highest returns in different extraction conditions. Moreover, heating and stirring pretreatments seem to play a key role in optimizing the process. Finally, 70% Acetone remains the best green solvent for extraction even after optimizing the green extraction.

description: ABSTRACT This article establishes a geometrical and mathematical bridge between the universal constant π and the golden ratio φ by interrelating the construction of the area of a circle using two approaches: one formed using the rotation of a regular unit pentagon and the other one from the rotation of its inverse ― the pentagram of side reference φ. The mathematical end result is a linear expression of π as a function of φ. As an interesting side result, an expression for the area of a circle is derived based on the golden ratio φ and a geometrically motivated coefficient. A scripted program for the verification of the derived expressions is provided.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the impact of hearing screening, diagnosis, and early intervention (EI) by 3 months or 6 months of age on language growth trajectories for children with hearing loss (HL) relative to children with normal hearing (NH).
Method: We recruited 133 children with mild to severe HL through universal newborn hearing screening records and referrals from audiologists in the United States; 116 children with NH who served as a comparison group. Examiners administered a battery of developmentally appropriate language measures between 12 months and 8 years of age. We constructed latent growth curve models of global language, grammar, and vocabulary using Bayesian statistics.
Results: Children with HL demonstrated no significant differences in initial language skills compared to children with NH. Children in the 1-3-6 group also showed no difference in language growth compared to children with NH. The slope for the 1-2-3 group was significantly steeper than children with NH for global language and grammar.
Conclusions: This study documents the positive impact of EI on language outcomes in children with congenital HL. It is among the first to provide evidence to support the potential effects of very early intervention by 3 months of age.
EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY AND COMPOSITION OF NATURAL BALANCED ANTIOXIDANT FROM CONIFERS OF PINUS SYLVESTRIS AND PICEA ABIES,WHICH POSSESS UNIQUE THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES

description: Objectives: The use of unique extraction technology of pine, spruce and fir needles allows the isolation of various substances in the form of balanced complexes such as CGNC (Conifer Green Needle Complex). CGNC has powerful antioxidant properties and exhibits radioprotective, detoxifying, cardioprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-bacterial and oncological prophylactic effects.

Results: Studies have revealed the therapeutic effects of CGNC for respiratory infections in children, dysbiosis and gastrointestinal diseases including atrophic gastritis associated with H. Pylori; CGNC inhibits the growth of the infection. Strong detoxifying and antioxidant properties were revealed in the treatment of patients with alcoholism and patients having chemotherapy for cancer. The composition of CGNC gives this substance its effectiveness: vitamins E, K, carotenoids, chlorophyll, phytosterols, squalene, polyisoprenoid alcohols, fatty and resin acids and macro- and microelements of more than 300 components. CGNC retains characteristics conferred by the unique ability of conifers to survive in a wide range of temperatures (-50°C to 40°C) while maintaining an emerald colour. Taiga A320, an antioxidant drug based on CGNC, is listed in Australia.

Conclusion: Taiga A320 has enormous potential to protect the body from oxidative stress, increase its adaptive capacity, correct disorders, increase immunity and maintain high performance in conditions of environmental pollution.

description: Caregiver coaching is utilized in early intervention services with families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing to increase caregivers’ skills and confidence in supporting their child’s language development, but few studies have examined coaching from the perspective of the caregivers. The purpose of this study was to increase understanding of caregivers’ experiences of coaching in the context of listening and spoken language intervention services. Using semi-structured, qualitative interviews, this study examined 13 caregivers’ perspectives at three intervention sites in the US and Canada. Results indicate that caregivers perceive that practitioner characteristics, expectations, and the evolution of the coaching relationship over time contribute to a positive caregiver coaching relationship. This study contributes to the understanding of the caregiver coaching experience and has implications for new and experienced practitioners working to improve their practice by establishing and strengthening collaborative caregiver coaching relationships with the families they serve.

description: When my biology professor first introduced our research assignment in class, I had no idea where to begin to look within the vast ocean of information that is the habitat for the subjects of ecology and evolution. I could have written my paper on almost any existent life form, but I had to pursue it with a depth and specificity of research that would amount to writing proficiency in the biology major, a daunting task to say the least. On top of this, the research assignment was to be in the form of a review paper, a comprehensive analysis of primary literature, unlike any lab report I had written before. There was no methods section to guide me; instead there was only my own inspiration and Goucher’s library services.
The subject of my review paper came to me in a rather peculiar way. I was speaking to my distant great aunt at my great grandmother’s funeral when she brought up the subject that Lyme Disease may have contributed to my grandfather’s death years ago. My great aunt happened to be conducting holistic research in various chronic diseases across the US and I began my research by posing her a series of questions that led to an online query in Goucher’s Biological Abstracts and Academic Search Complete library databases. After spending two weeks reviewing the latest research from experts on tick ecology and Lyme Disease evolution and ordering articles from the interlibrary loan service, I amassed enough information to synthesize the story of Lyme Disease in the Northeastern US. Not only was I able to isolate fascinating pertinent information using the library’s databases, but I also learned how to manage my way through the scientific community, an invaluable lesson since I aim to one day contribute to this same community.

The "Mama of Dada": Emmy Hennings and the Gender of Poetic Rebellion

Subjects: Research -- Periodicals.

description: When I first began research for my final project in an avant-garde theatre seminar, I thought I’d take advantage of the open ended-ness of the assignment and simply ape the Dada style by presenting a piece of bizarre, amusing performance art. But as I read more about the central movers behind the crazy sound poems and robotic costumes of these early 20th century artists, I was drawn again and again to the relationship between artistic power and rebellion, and how the categories of insider/outsider related to and defined that tension. An analytical paper focusing on Dada gender dynamics as manifested in the work of Emmy Hennings blossomed pretty organically after that, resulting in more interesting work, I hope, than my flailing about speaking German would have been. From A. Rebecca Free: I responded strongly to Caitlin’s piece on Emmy Hennings, not only because there is genuinely a need for more scholarship on the subject matter, but also because Caitlin’s approach revealed a scholar with enough control of her material to engage me as a reader in a kind of conversation about it. Theatre is a notoriously ephemeral and multidimensional art form, and the best theatre scholarship respects those qualities and the academic challenges they pose, without being overwhelmed by them. From its inception, Caitlin’s work on her Hennings project showed a solid appreciation of the dynamic intangibles and complicated layers that shape a theatre event, even as the scholar’s focus remained squarely on a literary text. The resulting study inventively drew connections between cabaret, avant-garde theatre aesthetics, Hennings’ poetry, and the idea of the outsider, viewing gender as a matrix within which all these elements of the artist’s work intersected.

description: This piece is one of the defining moments of my academic career. Requiring a significant amount of archival research, I endeavored to chronicle a tragedy through the coverage of the Baltimore Sun from the turn of the century. This specific incidence of state-sanctioned murder of a young black man, George Scott, has been forgotten over time, but it is an important and horrific stain in America’s long history of racism and oppression that needed to be revealed. The Baltimore Sun’s demonization and monolithization of George Scott bespeaks a structurally violent American society, a reality that continues to be tightly woven into the fabric of contemporary race relations in Baltimore and beyond. The murder and media coverage of Freddie Gray is the most recent iteration of the brutal reality that has existed for centuries: the dehumanization and negation of black existence at the hands of white supremacy. I hope that Scott’s story provides an anecdotal history of the present.

description: The perceptual system for speech is highly organized from early infancy. This organization bootstraps young human learners’ ability to acquire their native speech and language from speech input. Here, we review behavioral and neuroimaging evidence that perceptual systems beyond the auditory modality are also specialized for speech in infancy, and that motor and sensorimotor systems can influence speech perception even in infants too young to produce speech-like vocalizations. These investigations complement existing literatures on infant vocal development and on the interplay between speech perception and production systems in adults. We conclude that a multimodal speech and language network is present before speech-like vocalizations emerge.

description: The increasing number of human biomonitoring (HBM) studies undertaken in recent decades has brought to light the need to harmonise procedures along all phases of the study, including sampling, data collection and analytical methods to allow data comparability. The first steps towards harmonisation are the identification and collation of HBM methodological information of existing studies and data gaps. Systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses have been traditionally put at the top of the hierarchy of evidence, being increasingly applied to map available evidence on health risks linked to exposure to chemicals. However, these methods mainly capture peer-reviewed articles, failing to comprehensively identify other important, unpublished sources of information that are pivotal to gather a complete map of the produced evidence in the area of HBM. Within the framework of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) initiative - a project that joins 30 countries, 29 from Europe plus Israel, the European Environment Agency and the European Commission - a comprehensive work of data triangulation has been made to identify existing HBM studies and data gaps across countries within the consortium. The use of documentary analysis together with an up-to-date platform to fulfil this need and its implications for research and practice are discussed. © 2021 by the authors

description: As part of my study abroad program, each student completed a six week independent study on a topic of his/her choice. I chose to focus on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, commonly referred to as the “Kill the Gays” Bill. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda, but the Anti-Homosexuality Bill would make the punishment far harsher, as well as extend punishments to individuals who attempt to assist or support the LGBT community. As I began researching it quickly became clear that every Ugandan citizen is at risk of losing their rights due to corrupt laws such as this one, and that the rights to peaceful assembly and access to information have already been compromised. Uganda’s ruling party, led by President Yoweri Museveni, will do anything to stay in power and keep those who would take it from them out of the way, even if it hurts the citizens they are supposed to protect.
I wrote this paper because I want people to know what is happening in Uganda, a country that I love and believe can be far better. The LGBT community shouldn’t have to live in fear of this bill being passed. Nobody should be denied basic human rights because of who they love, and no constituents should suffer because of their government’s corruption. This paper, and the people that I met while researching it, taught me to use all the tools I have to expose and fight injustice.

description: In this work, we report on studies of graphene exposed to tritium gas in a controlled environment. The single layer graphene on a $\textrm{SiO}_2$/Si substrate was exposed to 400 mbar of $\textrm{T}_2$ for a total time of $\approx$ 55 h. The resistivity of the graphene sample was measured $\textit{in situ}$ during tritium exposure using the Van der Pauw method. We found that the sheet resistance increases by three orders of magnitude during the exposure, suggesting significant chemisorption of tritium. After exposure, the samples were characterised $\textit{ex situ}$ via spatio-chemical mapping with a confocal Raman microscope, to study the effect of tritium on the graphene structure (tritiation yielding T-graphene), as well as the homogeneity of modifications across the whole area of the graphene film. The Raman spectra after tritium exposure were comparable to previously observed results in hydrogen-loading experiments, carried out by other groups. By thermal annealing we also could demonstrate, using Raman spectral analysis, that the structural changes were largely reversible. Considering all observations, we conclude that the graphene film was at least partially tritiated during the tritium exposure, and that the graphene film by and large withstands the bombardment by electrons from the $β$-decay of tritium, as well as by energetic primary and secondary ions.

description: Deaf children can develop similarly to hearing children with appropriate intervention. However, when Deaf and hard of hearing children have deferred access to services, they can experience significant delays in language, socioemotional development, and cognition that can lead to problematic behaviors. While early intervention services are free in the United States starting at birth, there is often a lag in Deaf and hard-of-hearing children receiving services, especially when residing in US territories such as Puerto Rico. The current qualitative study was to explore the lived early intervention experiences of three parents and three professionals of Deaf and hard of hearing children under the age of six-years-old. Questions explored the lived experiences and perceptions of both professionals and parents regarding their access and delivery of early intervention services in Puerto Rico for Deaf and hard-of-hearing toddlers. Several salient themes emerged to include support for sign language, barriers to services, and family support.

description: Models of many-body localization (MBL) can be represented as tight-binding models in the many-body Hilbert space (Fock space). We explore the role of correlations between matrix elements of the effective Fock-space Hamiltonians in the scaling of MBL critical disorder $W_c(n)$ with the size $n$ of the system. For this purpose, we consider five models, which all have the same distributions of diagonal (energy) and off-diagonal ("hopping") Fock-space matrix elements but different Fock-space correlations. These include quantum-dot (QD) and one-dimensional (1D) MBL models, their modifications (uQD and u1D models) with removed correlations of off-diagonal matrix elements, as well a quantum random energy model (QREM) with no correlations at all. Our numerical results are in full consistency with analytical arguments predicting $n^{3/4} (\ln n)^{-1/4} \lesssim W_c \lesssim n \ln n$ for the scaling of $W_c(n)$ in the QD model (we find $W_c \sim n$ numerically), $W_c(n) \sim \text{const.}$ for the 1D model, $W_c \sim n \ln n$ for the uQD and u1D models without off-diagonal correlations, and $W_c \sim n^{1/2} \ln n$ for QREM. The key difference between the QD and 1D models is in the structure of correlations of many-body energies. Removing off-diagonal Fock-space correlations makes both these models "maximally chaotic". Our findings demonstrate that the scaling of $W_c(n)$ for MBL transitions is governed by a combined effect of Fock-space correlations of diagonal and off-diagonal matrix elements.

Quasinormal modes, temperatures and greybody factors of black holes in a generalized Rastall gravity theory

description: We introduce a modification in the energy-momentum conservation violating Rastall's theory of gravity and obtain a Reissner-Nordström-type black hole solution in spacetime surrounded by a cloud of strings and charge fields. We examine the horizons of the black hole along with the influence of the parameters of the model on it. The scalar quasinormal modes (QNMs) of oscillations of the black hole are also computed using the 6th order WKB approximation method. It is seen that the Rastall parameter $β$ and the newly introduced energy-momentum tensor trace parameter $α$ as well as the charge parameter $q$ and strings field parameter $a$ influence the amplitude and damping of the QNMs. From the metric function, we obtain the temperature of the black hole and study the effects of the four model parameters $β$, $α$, $q$ and $a$ on the temperature. We then examine the greybody factors associated with the black hole and the corresponding total absorption cross-section for it. It is seen that the modification we introduced in the Rastall theory has a drastic effect on various properties of the black hole and may lead to interesting outcomes in future when the better detection techniques will be available with the LISA and the Einstein Telescope.

description: Hydrogen in both gaseous or liquid form is an energy vector also called hydricity. Hydrogen gas in very rare in the atmosphere and in geological sites, thus it must be produced with advanced technological devices, mainly by water splitting. This clean energetic utility can be produced efficiently by dedicated high or very high temperature nuclear reactors of Generation IV, instead of using the traditional methods based on steam reforming of either light hydrocarbons or coal. The advantages are evident due to the high power density of a nuclear power plants and the almost complete lacking of green-house gaseous emissions, heavy metals and radioactive ones, typical of traditional thermoelectric power plants. This method for producing NuH2 is clean, safe and environmental friendly. There are being discussed the main thermochemical and pyrochemical routes for water splitting in H2 and O2, by using at least three designs of nuclear reactors of Gen IV, that are described in some details.

description: Purpose: Over an 18-month period in 2020–2021, the North Carolina Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program in collaboration with the North Carolina Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program conducted a statewide examination of newborn hearing screening practices in North Carolina’s 24 Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and 86 well-baby nurseries to determine how current protocols and procedures conform to those recommended by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) in its Year 2019 Position Statement: Principles and Guidelines for Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Programs. The COVID-19 pandemic emerged during the study period and motivated a second aim, to examine the impact of the pandemic on infant hearing screening.
Results: Our findings revealed that the hospitals in North Carolina are fully committed to their hearing screening programs as demonstrated by a 100% response rate and numerous strengths in both the NICU and well-baby nurseries. Even so, for many hospitals we identified opportunities for program development or improvement based on JCIH 2019 recommendations, especially those concerning oversight of the screening program by a pediatric audiologist, direct referral to an audiologist for NICU babies who fail the in-hospital screening, and audiology referral for well babies who fail the outpatient rescreen. Following the investigation, the NC-EHDI program has worked in partnership with hospitals to provide information, technical assistance, and resources based on our findings and recommendations. The authors would be happy to share the survey instruments and other resources developed for this project with EHDI programs in other states interested in conducting a similar study.
