description: A highly permselective ZIF-100 molecular sieve membrane has been prepared on a polydopamine (PDA)-modified support. Attributed to the formation of strong covalent and non-covalent bonds between PDA and ZIF-100, the ZIF-100 nutrients are attracted and bound to the support surface, thus promoting the growth of well-intergrown and phase-pure ZIF-100 membranes. The developed ZIF-100 membranes show high H2/CO2 selectivity due to the outstanding CO2 adsorption capacity of ZIF-100.

description: Hederagenin (HE) plays a protective role by inhibiting cell proliferation and ameliorating fibrosis. The current therapy for Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often result in the risks of side effects. The present study aimed to explore whether it can protect against renal fibrosis and unveil the underlying mechanism. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β was used to induce the fibroblasts NRK-49 F for the simulation of renal fibrosis. The cell viability and expression of fibrosis-related proteins in TGF-β-treated NRK-49 F cells was, respectively, measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and western blot. After predicting the target genes of HE, M3 receptor was measured in NRK-49 F cells treated with TGF-β alone or in combination with HE. Then, M3 receptor was silenced in TGF-β-treated NRK-49 F cells for the detection of its role in proliferation and fibrosis. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 (M3 receptor) agonist pilocarpine was further added to determine the role of M3 receptor involved. HE inhibited the proliferation and fibrosis of TGF-β-treated NRK-49 F cells. M3 receptor was predicted to be a target of HE. Moreover, interference of M3 receptor improved the proliferation and fibrosis of TGF-β-treated NRK-49 F cells. Further addition of pilocarpine reversed the inhibitory effect of HE on proliferation and fibrosis of TGF-β-treated NRK-49 F cells. HE protects against renal fibrosis in NRK-49 F cells by targeting Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, which will provide theoretical basis for the clinical use of HE for kidney-related disease treatment.

description: The colloidal probe technique, which is based on the atomic force micro-scope, revolutionizes direct force measurements in many ﬁelds, such as interface science or biomechanics. It allows, for the ﬁrst time, interaction forces on the single particle or cell level to be determined. However, for many applications, important “blind spots” remain, namely, the possibility to probe interaction potentials for nanoparticles or complex colloids with a soft outer shell. Deﬁnitely, these are colloidal systems that are currently of major industrial importance and interest from theory. The here-presented novel approach allows the aforementioned limitations to be overcome. Its applica-bility is demonstrated for 300 nm sized carboxylate-modiﬁed latex particles as well as sub-micron core–shell particles with a soft poly-N-isopropylacrylamide hydrogel shell and a rigid silica core. For the latter, which until now could not be studied by the colloidal probe technique, the temperature dependency of electrosteric and adhesion forces is determined on the single particle level.

description: In this article, we analyze the SPICE method developed in [1], and establish its connections with other standard sparse estimation methods such as the Lasso and the LAD-Lasso. This result positions SPICE as a computationally efficient technique for the calculation of Lasso-type estimators. Conversely, this connection is very useful for establishing the asymptotic properties of SPICE under several problem scenarios and for suggesting suitable modifications in cases where the naive version of SPICE would not work.

description: The following study evaluated the clinical outcomes of patients enrolled in the UK Medical Cannabis Registry, who were treated with inhaled dried flower (Adven® EMT2, Curaleaf International, Guernsey), and sublingual/oral medium-chain triglyceride-based oils (Adven, Curaleaf International, Guernsey) for chronic pain. In this cohort study, the primary outcomes were changes in validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) at 1, 3, and 6 months compared to baseline, and adverse event analysis. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.050. Three hundred and forty-eight (45.7%), 36 (4.7%), and 377 (49.5%) patients were treated with oils, dried flower, or both, respectively. Patients treated with oils or combination therapy recorded improvements within health-related quality of life, pain, and sleep-specific PROMs at 1, 3, and 6 months (p < 0.050). Patients treated with combination therapy recorded improvements in anxiety-specific PROMs at 1, 3, and 6 months (p < 0.050). 1,273 (167.3%) adverse events were recorded, with previously cannabis naïve users, ex-cannabis users, and females more likely to experience adverse events (p < 0.050). This study observed an association between initiation of CBMP treatment and improved outcomes for chronic pain patients. Prior cannabis use and gender were associated with adverse event incidence. Placebo-controlled trials are still necessary to establish the efficacy and safety of CBMPs for chronic pain.

description: This work is devoted for gauge boson sector of the recently proposed model based on SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X group with minimal content of leptons and Higgses. The limits on the masses of the bilepton gauge bosons and on the mixing angle among the neutral ones are deduced. Using the Fritzsch anzats on quark mixing, we show that the third family of quarks should be different from the first two. We obtain a lower bound on mass of the new heavy neutral gauge boson as 6.051 TeV. Using data on branching decay rates of the $Z$ boson, we can fix the limit to the Z and Z^prime mixing angle phi as $-0.001\leϕ\le 0.0003$.

title: Computational fracture mechanics for reliability of composites at the micro and macro scales
Creators: name: Guillén Hernández, Teresa
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2020

description: In recent years, an increasing use of composite materials in aerospace and aeronautical applications has taken place. Fibre reinforced composites materials (FRCs) present high specific strength and stiffness ratios, which can be considered as remarkable advantages with respect to metallic materials. One of the main problems associated with the internal arrangement of fibre reinforced materials regards the numerous and complex failure mechanisms that can occur at different scales of observations. Stemming from these reasons, at present, the analysis and study of fracture in fibre composites constitutes a relevant and recurrent area of research due to the actual needs for the achievement of a higher level of understanding of such fracture phenomena. Within this context, this dissertation presents a new model to simulate fracture in FRCs with the aim of designing safe and durable aircraft structures, for instance: shells, plates or thin filmsubstrate structures. The fundamental computational model used in the present thesis was proposed in (14), devising a seminal combination of the Phase Field approach for brittle fracture and a Cohesive Zone Model for interface failure. In the current research, this computational framework is examined and validated through the numerical simulations of different applications at the micro- and macro-scales: (i) the micro-mechanical inter-fiber failure of composites, the subsequent propagation of failure through the thickness of the laminates arising a macro-crack and (ii) several macro-mechanical applications concerning advanced composite structures (shells, thin film-substrates and Functionally Graded Materials). Derived from the current predictions, it is possible to argue that the current numerical methodology is very suitable for the simulation of fracture in composites at different length scales and allows the preclusion of intricate remeshing techniques or crack tracking algorithms in conjunction with minimizing the mesh-dependent pathology due to its non-local character.

description: One of the major constraints limiting the use of abundantly available lignocellulosic biomass as potential feedstock for alcohol industry is the lack of C6/C5 co-sugar fermenting yeast. The present study explores a mutant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii BGY1-γm as a potential strain for bioconversion of glucose/xylose sugars of green biomass into ethanol under batch fermentation. The mutant strain having higher alcohol dehydrogenase activity (11.31%) showed significantly higher ethanol concentration during co-fermentation of glucose/xylose sugars (14.2%) as compared to the native strain. Based on 99% sequence similarity of ADH encoding gene from the mutant with the gene sequences from other yeast strains, the ADH enzyme was identified as ADH-1 type. The study reveals first three-dimensional model of ADH-1 utilizing glucose/xylose sugars from P. kudriavzevii BGY1-γm (PkADH mutant). The refined and validated model of PkADH mutant was used for molecular docking against the substrate (acetaldehyde) and product (ethanol). Molecular docking results showed that substrate and product exhibited a binding affinity of −4.55 and −4.5 kcal/mol with PkADH mutant. Acetaldehyde and ethanol interacted at the active site of PkADH mutant via hydrogen bonds (Ser42, His69 and Asp163) and hydrophobic interactions (Cys40, Ser42, His69, Cys95, Trp123 and Asp163) to form the stable protein–ligand complex. Molecular dynamics analysis revealed that PkADH-mutant acetaldehyde and PkADH-mutant ethanol complexes were more stable than PkADH mutant. MMPBSA binding energy confirmed that binding of substrate and product results in the formation of a lower energy stable protein–ligand complex. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Machine learning is a powerful tool for archaeological prediction mapping. This thesis compares machine learning approaches to Middle and Late Archaic archaeological prediction in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, California and Nevada. Specifically, the analysis seeks to answer whether logistic regression, Random Forest, or Maximum Entropy models perform better at archaeological prediction. The explanatory variables used to predict site presence include elevation, slope, aspect, distance to streams, land cover, soil, and geology. Of all three models, Maximum Entropy produced the most accurate predictive models based on combined diagnostic metrics. Predictive modeling is a valuable tool in preventative archaeology, where identifying and mitigating adverse effects to archaeological sites in a time-efficient manner is critical. Environmental challenges such as uncontrolled wildfires provide an impetus for indigenous communities, management agencies, and researchers to employ predictive modeling approaches in preventative cultural and heritage resource management applications.

Einige von Floridas Annahmen bestätigen sich auch für Niedersachsen, andere nicht. Politische Handlungsempfehlungen am Ende des Textes sollen helfen, die Wirkungen der Beschäftigungseffekte der „Kreativen Klasse“ auf die übrige Wirtschaft Niedersachsens zu steigern.

This paper tests three of Richard Florida’s ideas for the largely non-urban Federal State of Lower Saxony, Germany: the spatial distribution of creative class members, their internal migration pattern and their entrepreneurial motivation. Some of Florida’s assumptions hold true for Lower Saxony as well, while others do not. Recommendations for policy-makers are provided in order to increase the effects of creative class employment on the real economy in Lower Saxony and its regions.

description: The contribution of this study is to provide an understanding of how picture books educate young children on the common experiences of anxiety. This qualitative study used thematic analysis to analyze 82 English children’s picture books for infants and young toddlers (0 to 5 years old) that were published in 2020. Picture books in this sample portray anxiety in a way that match with the clinical knowledge of childhood anxiety in terms of characterization and signs of anxiety. This study identified five major themes of anxiety-eliciting situations, namely schools, bad things happen, being alone, health and diversity. The findings of this study also include themes and patterns of coping strategies that were used by the protagonists; finding comfort, inhibiting emotions, solving problems, recognizing and expressing emotions and culturally-related strategies are the five themes that summarize the coping strategies found in this sample. Across all types of anxiety-eliciting situations, finding comfort is the most frequently presented coping strategy. This study holds implications for caregivers, teachers and clinicians, through which they can have an idea of how anxiety is presented in some recently published children’s picture books in their use of the books for educational or clinical purposes. Publishers may also take reference on the gaps noted in this study to diversify the content of anxiety-related picture books.

description: Challenges facing coupling software of the climate modelling community will be presented, building on discussions of the 5th Workshop on Coupling Technologies for Earth System Models that took place virtually in September 2020. In particular, the benchmarking work around the analysis of the quality and the performance of different interpolation/regridding libraries used in the climate modelling community i.e. the SCRIP library, ATLAS, MOAB-TempestRemap, YAC, ESMF and XIOS will be presented. The motivation of this work is to complement the SCRIP library algorithms implemented in the OASIS3-MCT coupler, which will be briefly introduced. 5 algorithms are evaluated for 4 functions for 14 couples of grids used in real ocean or atmosphere models. Metrics proposed by the CANGA project quantifying the sensitivity, conservation, consistency, monotonicity and performances of the library are calculated. The quality analysis shows that some of the regridding libraries, although presenting nice design features for the forthcoming heterogeneous architectures, are not mature enough to be considered as regridding options in OASIS3-MCT. For example, some librairies do not offer conservative regridding or lack the support of masked fields. Others present specific difficulties with the treatment of the North folding typical of some ocean grids. After interactions with the library developers, some bug fixes and some trick on how to best use the library, 3 of them finally show very good results for the regridding algorithm, functions and grids evaluated. Other criteria, like performance, long-term governance or available user support will come into play in the final choice.

description: Approximately 10% of active galactic nuclei exhibit relativistic jets, which are powered by accretion of matter onto super massive black holes. While the measured width profiles of such jets on large scales agree with theories of magnetic collimation, predicted structure on accretion disk scales at the jet launch point has not been detected. We report radio interferometry observations at 1.3mm wavelength of the elliptical galaxy M87 that spatially resolve the base of the jet in this source. The derived size of 5.5 +/- 0.4 Schwarzschild radii is significantly smaller than the innermost edge of a retrograde accretion disk, suggesting that the M87 jet is powered by an accretion disk in a prograde orbit around a spinning black hole.

description: Für die Entwicklung optomechatronischer Produkte aus dem Bereich der Beleuchtungstechnik für Fahrzeuge kann das V-Modell der VDI 2206 angewandt werden. Als Anwendungsbeispiel wird die methodische Entwicklung eines hochadaptiven Scheinwerfers betrachtet. Aus dem Beispiel wird ein angepasstes V-Modell abgeleitet, mit dem Beleuchtungssysteme entwickelt werden können. Da die Hauptfunktion hochadaptive Ausleuchtung des Verkehrsraumes lichtbasiert ist, spielt die optische Auslegung im Vergleich zu den anderen Domänen eine herausragende Rolle. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie der Systementwurf mit analytischen Modellen durchgeführt werden kann, sodass vorerst kein numerisches Modell für eine optische Simulation mittels Raytracing erforderlich ist. Das Ziel des Systementwurfs in dem betrachteten Beispiel ist die Eingrenzung von Parametern des optischen Systems. Mit dem erstellten numerischen Simulationsmodell und dem aufgebauten Prototyp wird die dargestellte Vorgehensweise validiert.

description: Beginning with an examination of the recent Nature News centered on Harvard-Lancet-Mehra et al. COVID-19 research scandal, I put forth suggestions--for further debate--to safeguard the integrity of science in a time of crisis. In particular, I identify a subtle form of lying published as Nature news. Subsequently, drawing on Scarry's book "Thinking in an Emergency", I argue that slow reasoning and quick action (called for by crises) are not mutually incompatible; thinking can be transformed into conscious-reflex action by way of practice (e.g. firefighters, emergency room physicians). More importantly, I call upon cognitive scientists, with their expertise in reasoning, intuition, habits, and actions, among others, to take a proactive role in crafting crisis preparedness programs for universities and science publishers so that we all can continue to rely on science for truth and facts.
Individual and Interactive effects of child and parent anxiety on behaviorally inhibited youth's RSA across social stressor tasks

description: Children with elevated behavioral inhibition (BI) show context-inappropriate fear and dysregulated RSA across stressor tasks. However, few studies have examined dynamic RSA within tasks and relations to parent and child anxiety. Using piecewise growth modeling and multi-method baseline data from an intervention study of 151 3.5-5 year old children and their parents, the individual and interactive influences of child social anxiety (SA) and parent anxiety (via diagnostic interviews) in predicting children’s RSA across social stressor tasks (e.g.,learning about unfamiliar peers, Trier Social Stress) were tested. Children high in SA showed RSA responses indicative of avoidant coping, whereas those low in SA showed responses suggesting attention in anticipation of meeting unfamiliar peers. The relation between child SA and RSA across tasks was moderated by parent anxiety, specifically for dyads matched in anxiety. Findings provide support for the influence of both child and parent anxiety on children’s RSA response across specific stressor and non-stressor tasks.

description: As all the globally fitted nuclear PDFs (nPDFs) have been so far impact parameter independent, it has not been possible to calculate the hard process cross sections in different centrality classes consistently with the global analyses. In \cite{Helenius:2012wd} we have offered a solution to this problem by determining two spatially dependent nPDF sets, \texttt{EPS09s} and \texttt{EKS98s}, using the $A$-systematics of the earlier global fits EPS09 and EKS98 and an assumption that the spatial dependence can be written as a power series of the nuclear thickness function. For a data comparison, we have calculated the nuclear modification factor of inclusive neutral pion production in d+Au collisions at RHIC in four centrality bins at midrapidity and compared these to a PHENIX measurement. In addition, we have also performed a similar calculation for inclusive photon production in d+Au collisions at RHIC.

description: We consider spinor Bose gas with the isotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling in 2D. We argue that at low density its groundstate is a composite fermion state with a Chern-Simons gauge field and filling factor one. The chemical potential of such a state scales with the density as μ\propto n^{3/2}. This is a lower energy per particle than μ\propto n for the earlier suggested groundstate candidates: a condensate with broken time-reversal symmetry and a spin density wave state.

description: This contribution deals with guided radar distance measurements in the field of industrial tank level control. The aim is to achieve a submillimeter gauging accuracy even when conducting the measurement within a highly dispersive environment of large and thus overmoded circular waveguides. Normally, multimode propagation causes a decrease in measurement precision. Therefore, the effects of intermodal dispersion are fundamentally reviewed and, based on these results, a correlation-based signal processing method is presented. This method is able to exploit the otherwise parasitic dispersion effects to enhance the measurement precision even in constellation with a simple waveguide transition or antenna, respectively. Furthermore, considerations on the mode variety and its influence on the signal complexity as well as investigations on the technique's reliability and accuracy are presented. Measurement results in a frequency range of 8.5-10.5GHz are provided for three different kinds of waveguide transitions proving the capability of the method. © Cambridge University Press and the European Microwave Association 2010.

description: Parents play an important role when it comes to child language development. This study examines differences in lexical and syntactic alignment, in child-directed speech (CDS), between African American mothers and fathers from the professional- and working-class. The Hall (1984) corpus from the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES; MacWhinney, 1991) was used to analyze syntactic and lexical alignment in African American professional- and working-class parent-child dyads (children aged 4;6). We investigated the proportion of overlapping nouns shared between mother-child and father-child dyads, as well as differences between parent-child syntactic complexity scores (i.e., Mean Length of Utterance-words (MLU-w), and Verbs per Utterance (Verbs/utt). Results revealed there to be no significant differences regarding lexical and syntactic alignment between the professional- and working-class families; however, fathers were found to produce a significantly higher average proportion of overlapping nouns compared to mothers.

description: The poems in this collection explore the cyclical nature of relationships, family history, and natural phenomena, as well as the extent to which these cycles shape the trajectory of one’s life. Surrealism becomes a means of control, as it allows the speakers of these poems to transform their surroundings through imaginative perception. This childlike imagination is juxtaposed with disillusionment, coming-of-age, and the failures of intimate relationships. Written in a range of forms and meters, including fable-like rhymes and gnomic stanzas, these poems investigate our instincts for physical pleasure while questioning what we think and why we think it.

description: Die Qualifizierung von Sportlehrkräften für einen inklusiven Sportunterricht stellt eine zentrale Herausforderung für die sportdidaktische Lehre und Forschung dar. Obwohl die Bedeutung situationsspezifischer Fähigkeiten für die universitäre Sportlehrkräftebildung auch im Zusammenhang mit einem inklusiven Sportunterricht betont wird, fehlt es an Kompetenzmodellen, die die Ebene der situationsspezifischen Fähigkeiten berücksichtigen und somit eine Grundlage für Lehrkonzepte bilden können, die auf die Förderung situationsspezifischer Fähigkeiten für einen inklusiven Sportunterricht abzielen. Zudem mangelt es bestehenden Lehrkonzepten auch an Arbeits- und Organisationsformen, um gezielt situationsspezifische Fähigkeiten für einen inklusiven Sportunterricht anzusprechen. Schließlich existieren bisher keine Testverfahren, mit denen situationsspezifische Fähigkeiten für einen inklusiven Sportunterricht gemessen und darauf abzielende Lehrkonzepte evaluiert werden können. Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist es demzufolge, konzeptionelle Überlegungen anzustellen, wie ein Kompetenzmodell für den inklusiven Sportunterricht generiert werden kann, welches die Ebene der situationsspezifischen Fähigkeiten berücksichtigt, wie ein Lehrformat angelegt sein müsste, um gezielt die situationsspezifischen Fähigkeiten für einen inklusiven Sportunterricht anzusprechen und wie diese situationsspezifischen Fähigkeiten gemessen werden können, um eine diesbezügliche Evaluation zu ermöglichen. Abstract Qualifying physical education (PE) teachers for inclusive physical education poses a central challenge for the didactic approach of teaching and researching PE. Although the importance of situation-specific skills for pre-service PE teacher education is emphasized in the context of inclusive PE, there is neither an existing model of competencies that takes into account the level of situation-specific skills, nor a concept for corresponding pre-service PE teacher education that aims to promote situation-specific skills for inclusive PE. Finally, there is a lack of instruments that can be used to measure situation-specific skills for inclusive physical education and to evaluate respective teaching concepts. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide conceptual considerations on how to generate a model of competencies for inclusive PE that takes into account the level of situation-specific skills, how a teaching format should be designed to address situation-specific skills for inclusive PE, and how these situation-specific skills can be measured in order to facilitate evaluation.

Daran anknüpfend werden als Praxisbeispiele zur Weiterqualifizierung ein Master-Fernstudiengang für Schulmanagement sowie ein in weiterer Entwicklung befindliches digitales Leadership-Training für Schulentwicklung vorgestellt. Letzteres fokussiert insbesondere die Förderung emotionaler und transformationaler Führungskompetenzen, welche wesentlich dazu beitragen können, inspirierend zu motivieren, kollegiale Beziehungen gewinnbringend zu gestalten und adäquat durch inklusive Schulentwicklungsprozesse zu begleiten.. Abstract This article presents the significance of emotional and transformational leadership competencies in the context of inclusive school development and in general in the context of transformational school management. Following on from this, a Master's-distance-learning-course for school management as well as a digital leadership-training for school development which is in further development will be presented as practical examples for further qualification. The latter particularly focuses on the promotion of emotional and transformational leadership competencies, which can make a significant contribution to inspiring motivation, creating profitable collegial relationships and adequately accompanying through inclusive school development processes.

description: We perform an extensive experimental spectroscopic study of the collective spin-wave dynamics occurring in a pair of magnetic nano-disks coupled by the magneto-dipolar interaction. For this, we take advantage of the stray field gradient produced by the magnetic tip of a ferromagnetic resonance force microscope (f-MRFM) to continuously tune and detune the relative resonance frequencies between two adjacent nano-objects. This reveals the anti-crossing and hybridization of the spin-wave modes in the pair of disks. At the exact tuning, the measured frequency splitting between the binding and anti-binding modes precisely corresponds to the strength of the dynamical dipolar coupling $Ω$. This accurate f-MRFM determination of $Ω$ is measured as a function of the separation between the nano-disks. It agrees quantitatively with calculations of the expected dynamical magneto-dipolar interaction in our sample.

description: From a pathologically shy student who ghosts her classes in Paris, to a directionless college graduate who cheats on her girlfriend with a much-older coworker, and another who, in lieu of leaving a bad relationship, decides to move to an apocalypse-proof bunker under the ocean, the characters in these stories are unified by their shared traits of curiosity, confusion, embarrassment, existential dread, and by the magnetic pull of self-sabotage. They are painfully ambivalent, sometimes throwing themselves with reckless abandon toward the object of their longing, the next seeking the destruction of all avenues of possible connection. These stories evoke the constant and repetitive search for meaning, identity, and belonging that characterizes young adulthood. Beneath the angst and self-doubt that rules each character’s mind, there is also a young person’s stubborn belief in revelation: the hunch that enlightenment could come at any moment, and that, when it does, this will all somehow finally make sense.
