description: Abstract

Wheat, a staple crop crucial for global food security, often suffers from deficiencies in essential micronutrients like zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), leading to widespread malnutrition. Enhancing the nutritional quality of wheat through genetic diversity and agro-morphological trait selection is essential to meet the increasing demand for nutrient-rich food. To address these deficiencies, this study aimed to screen wheat genotypes for genetic diversity and agro-morphological traits, which are critical for enhancing the nutritional quality of wheat. The experiment was designed to evaluate the impact of different treatments (Normal, Soil (Fe+Zn), and Soil+Foliar (Fe+Zn)) on these traits. A total of 125 wheat genotypes were evaluated during the 2019-20 growing season at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad. The experiment employed a randomized complete block design with two replications for each treatment. Data were collected on various morphological and yield-related traits, and statistical analyses, including ANOVA and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), were conducted to identify significant differences and key contributing traits. The results revealed non-significant differences in flag leaf area among treatments but significant differences in plant height, with the Soil (Fe+Zn) treatment yielding the tallest plants. The highest plant height was observed in genotype G121, reaching 168.00 cm. In terms of spike length, significant differences were observed among treatments, with the maximum spike length recorded in genotype G13 at 13.19 cm under the Soil+Foliar (Fe+Zn) treatment. Moreover, the highest grain yield per plant was observed in genotype G56, which achieved 29.97 g under the Soil+Foliar (Fe+Zn) treatment. PCA identified spike length, spikelets per spike, 1000-grain weight, plant height, and number of grains per spike as key contributors to genotype variation, explaining 55.4% of the total variation. The study successfully identified 15 wheat genotypes with superior agro-morphological traits from this screening experiment, which have been selected for crossing in future breeding programs to enhance the nutritional quality and yield of wheat.

description: We have synthesized a large amount of boron-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition. The synthesis was carried out in a flask using a methanol solution of boric acid as a source material. The scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy were performed to evaluate the structural properties of the obtained MWNTs. In order to evaluate the electrical properties, temperature dependence of resistivity was measured in an individual MWNTs with four metal electrodes. The Ramman shifts suggest carrier injection into the boron-doped MWNTs, but the resistivity of the MWNTs was high and increased strongly with decreasing temperature. Defects induced by the plasma may cause this enhanced resistivity.

description: Particle acceleration at magnetized purely perpendicular relativistic shocks in electron-ion plasmas are studied by means of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Magnetized shocks with the upstream bulk Lorentz factor $γ_1 \gg 1$ are known to emit intense electromagnetic waves from the shock front, which induce electrostatic plasma waves (wakefield) and transverse filamentary structures in the upstream region via the stimulated/induced Raman scattering and the filamentation instability, respectively. The wakefield and filaments inject a fraction of incoming particles into a particle acceleration process, in which particles are once decoupled from the upstream bulk flow by the wakefield, and are piked up again by the flow. The picked-up particles are accelerated by the motional electric field. The maximum attainable Lorentz factor is estimated as $γ_{max,e} \sim αγ_1^3$ for electrons and $γ_{max,i} \sim (1+m_eγ_1/m_i)γ_1^2$ for ions, where $α\sim 10$ is determined from our simulation results. $α$ can increase up to $γ_1$ for weakly magnetized shock if $γ_1$ is sufficiently large. This result indicates that highly relativistic astrophysical shocks such as external shocks of gamma-ray bursts can be an efficient particle accelerator.

title: Cow Brain Glutaminase: Purification and Influence of Phosphate and Borate Ions on Its Activity and Molecular Weight

description: An efficient and simple purification procedure for cow brain glutaminase (L- glutamine amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.2) is described. The main steps consisted of acetone extraction and French press treatment in the presence of phosphate ions, precipitation of nucleic acids and lipids by 0.08 % protamine·S04 and high speed centrifugation (300,000xg), ammonium sulfate fractionation, and gel filtration on Sepharose 4B first as the low molecular weight and then as the aggregated form. The yield was 22% and the final preparation had a specific activity of 142 μmoles/min/mg. The purification was more than 8000-fold over crude brain homogenate. The enzyme showed one strong and one diffuse band on SDS gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the enzyme was highly purified.
Phosphate activated cow brain glutaminase with a sigmoidal concentration dependence. The activation was time dependent, a function of the pretreatment, and was enhanced by high concentrations of protein.
The molecular weight of cow brain glutaminase also depended on the nature of the buffer in which it is dissolved. Gel filtration on Sepharose 4B was used to determine the molecular weight. Three forms of glutaminase were observed, one each in tris/acetate, phosphate, and borate/ phosphate buffer. These were interconvertible and have molecular weights of 170,000, 300,000, and >10^6 respectively. It appeared that activation of cow brain glutaminase by phosphate was due to formation of dimers or higher molecular weight polymers.

description: Lenticular galaxies are believed to form by a combination of environmental effects and secular evolution. We study the nearby disc-dominated S0 galaxy NGC 6340 photometrically and spectroscopically to understand the mechanisms of S0 formation and evolution in groups. We use SDSS images to build colour maps and light profile of NGC 6340 which we decompose using a three-component model including Sersic and two exponential profiles. We also use Spitzer images to study the morphology of regions containing warm ISM and dust. Then, we re-process and re-analyse deep long-slit spectroscopic data for NGC 6340 and recover its stellar and gas kinematics, distribution of age and metallicity with the NBursts full spectral fitting. We obtain the profiles of internal kinematics, age, and metallicity out to >2 half-light radii. The three structural components of NGC 6340 are found to have distinct kinematical and stellar population properties. We see a kinematical misalignment between inner and outer regions of the galaxy. We confirm the old metal-rich centre and a wrapped inner gaseous polar disc (r~1 kpc) having weak ongoing star formation, counter-rotating in projection with respect to the stars. The central compact pseudo-bulge of NGC 6340 looks very similar to compact elliptical galaxies. In accordance with the results of numerical simulations, we conclude that properties of NGC 6340 can be explained as the result of a major merger of early-type and spiral galaxies which occurred about 12 Gyr ago. The intermediate exponential structure might be a triaxial pseudo-bulge formed by a past bar structure. The inner compact bulge could be the result of a nuclear starburst triggered by the merger. The inner polar disc appeared recently, 1/3-1/2 Gyr ago as a result of another minor merger or cold gas accretion.

description: La ricerca consta di quattro capitoli: nella prima parte si analizzano, in prospettiva empirica, i canoni argomentativi utilizzati dalla Corte  costituzionale italiana. Tali canoni possono essere generalmente distinti in due grandi famiglie: giuridico-interpretativi per un verso, e ed empirico fattuali per un altro. In un secondo capitolo si è visto come la Corte costituzionale italiana ha frutto uso di questi canoni nella sua giurisprudenza italiana in tema di diritto soggettivo di libertà di espressione e di mezzi di comunicazione del pensiero. Nel primo caso la Corte costituzionale ha fatto ricorso a canoni interpretativi testuali, mentre nel secondo ad argomentazioni empiriche spesso accompagnate da un giudizio di proporzionalità sull'intervento legislativo. Nella terza parte del lavoro si è invece descritta la giurisprudenza della Corte Suprema americana: è stata analizzata l'evoluzione delle tecniche argomentativi in tema di libertà di espressione: partendo dall'ad hoc balancing e dal definitional balancing si è giunti alla descrizione dei diversi livelli di scrutinio e alla progressiva concettualizzazione delle categorie espressive. Infine nel quarto capitolo si sono messe a confronto le due giurisprudenze: si è potuto così notare che la progressiva categorizzazione del diritto di libertà negli Stati Uniti ha dato esiti maggiormente garantisti, mentre più liberisti in relazione alle concrete dinamiche di formazione del discorso pubblico. Viceversa, in Italia i canoni testuali hanno originato una giurisprudenza più restrittiva quanto al diritto soggettivo e più egualitaria quanto al sistema della libertà di espressione. In ogni caso, entrambe le esperienze evidenziano il ruolo di policy-maker delle Corti costituzionali nei moderni ordinamenti liberal-democratici.

description: Synthetic routes toward a B-alkylthiolanthionine derivative, as found in the quinomycin depsipeptide antibiotics, have been studied through a sequence involving as the key intermediates and steps (a) (S) - Z-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]-3,3-dimethoxy-l-propanol (2), prepared from N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-serine in 3 or 4 steps, (b) N-benzyloxycarbonyl- 0 - tetrahydropyranyl-B,B-(ethylsulfinylethylthio)-alaninol (4a), converted from 2, and (c) attempted Lewis acid catalyzed replacement of alkylsulfinyl function by thiol moiety of cysteine, which gave undesired products. Stability of protecting groups used in this study, which are N,0-isopropylidenyl and tetrahydropyranyl functions in N-protected-L-serinol 20 or 26, under acidic conditions was found to play an important role in determining the optical purity obtained in 2. Jone's oxidation and methylation of 2 led to the formation of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-B,B-(dimethoxy)alanine methyl ester (3) in low yield. Swern oxidation or Moffat oxidation of Z-L-Ser-Val-OMe dipeptide (5), which was expected to be converted to aldehyde 34, were carried out with unsuccessful results. Swern oxidation was applied to various N-protected amino alcohols derived from a-amino acids to give the corresponding aldehydes with excellent yields and optical purities.

description: Let f be a transcendental entire map that is subhyperbolic, i.e., the intersection of the Fatou set F(f) and the postsingular set P(f) is compact and the intersection of the Julia set J(f) and P(f) is finite. Assume that no asymptotic value of f belongs to J(f) and that the local degree of f at all points in J(f) is bounded by some finite constant. We prove that there is a hyperbolic map g (of the form g(z)=f(bz) for some complex number b) with connected Fatou set such that f and g are semiconjugate on their Julia sets. Furthermore, we show that this semiconjugacy is a conjugacy when restricted to the escaping set I(g) of g. In the case where f can be written as a finite composition of maps of finite order, our theorem, together with recent results on Julia sets of hyperbolic maps, implies that J(f) is a pinched Cantor bouquet, consisting of dynamic rays and their endpoints. Our result also seems to give the first complete description of topological dynamics of an entire transcendental map whose Julia set is the whole complex plane.

description: Abstract

This research aims to determine and analyze the nature of Pancasila justice in handling natural disasters that occur on small islands. This research is normative juridical research, namely research carried out on legal principles, in the sense of concrete legal values (norms) and legal systems. The approach used in research is a statutory approach and a conceptual and comparative approach. This research finds the answer that the Pancasila legal paradigm is indeed contained in legal principles and disaster management principles. The Pancasila legal paradigm prioritizes human values and mutual cooperation as well as local wisdom institutions and values as social capital. In its implementation it cannot be separated from aspects of legal regulations, institutions and community culture. However, it must be acknowledged that society often fails in handling disasters at every stage of disaster management. Therefore, strategic efforts and policies are needed to strengthen the application of the rule of law by empowering social capital to increase community resilience in facing disasters. The policy in question is not only at the central, provincial and district government levels, but also village governments as the spearhead.

description: Pulsating subdwarf B (sdB) stars oscillate in short-period p-modes or long-period g-modes. HS0702+6043 (DW Lyn) is one of a few objects to show characteristics of both types and is hence classified as hybrid pulsator. It is one of our targets in the EXOTIME program to search for planetary companions around extreme horizontal branch objects. In addition to the standard exercise in asteroseismology to probe the instantaneous inner structure of a star, measured changes in the pulsation frequencies as derived from an O-C diagram can be compared to theoretical evolutionary timescales. Based on the photometric data available so far, we are able to derive a high-resolution frequency spectrum and to report on our efforts to construct a multi-season O-C diagram. Additionally, we have gathered time-resolved spectroscopic data in order to constrain stellar parameters and to derive mode parameters as well as radial and rotational velocities.

description: Accurately diagnosing sleep disorders is essential for clinical assessments and treatments. Polysomnography (PSG) has long been used for detection of various sleep disorders. In this research, electrocardiography (ECG) and electromayography (EMG) have been used for recognition of breathing and movement-related sleep disorders. Bio-signal processing has been performed by extracting EMG features exploiting entropy and statistical moments, in addition to developing an iterative pulse peak detection algorithm using synchrosqueezed wavelet transform (SSWT) for reliable extraction of heart rate and breathing-related features from ECG. A deep learning framework has been designed to incorporate EMG and ECG features. The framework has been used to classify four groups: healthy subjects, patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), patients with restless leg syndrome (RLS) and patients with both OSA and RLS. The proposed deep learning framework produced a mean accuracy of 72% and weighted F1 score of 0.57 across subjects for our formulated four-class problem.

description: The mid-far-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 83 active galaxies, mostly Seyfert galaxies, selected from the extended 12 micron sample are presented. The data were collected using all three instruments, IRAC, IRS, and MIPS, aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The IRS data were obtained in spectral mapping mode, and the photometric data from IRAC and IRS were extracted from matched, 20 arcsec diameter circular apertures. The MIPS data were obtained in SED mode, providing very low resolution spectroscopy (R ~ 20) between ~ 55 and 90 microns in a larger, 20 by 30 arcsec synthetic aperture. We further present the data from a spectral decomposition of the SEDs, including equivalent widths and fluxes of key emission lines; silicate 10 and 18 micron emission and absorption strengths; IRAC magnitudes; and mid-far infrared spectral indices. Finally, we examine the SEDs averaged within optical classifications of activity. We find that the infrared SEDs of Seyfert 1s and Seyfert 2s with hidden broad line regions (HBLR, as revealed by spectropolarimetry or other technique) are qualitatively similar, except that Seyfert 1s show silicate emission and HBLR Seyfert 2s show silicate absorption. The infrared SEDs of other classes with the 12 micron sample, including Seyfert 1.8-1.9, non-HBLR Seyfert 2 (not yet shown to hide a type 1 nucleus), LINER and HII galaxies, appear to be dominated by star-formation, as evidenced by blue IRAC colors, strong PAH emission, and strong far-infrared continuum emission, measured relative to mid-infrared continuum emission.

title: Effect of Iron Binding on the Ability of Crocidolite to Cause DNA Single-Strand Breaks
Creators: name: Hardy, Jeanne Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: Fibrous carcinogens, such as crocidolite asbestos, are known to catalyze many of the same reactions as iron, namely 0_2 consumption, generation of reduced oxygen species, and damage to DNA, such as strand breaks, and modifications of bases. Upon inhalation, fibers are also known to become coated with an iron-rich material. The mechanism by which this iron is bound to fibers in the lung is not known, and the effect of this additional iron on the reactivity of the fibers is also not well understood. The studies described here were undertaken to elucidate the abilities of crocidolite asbestos, in its native, soaked, and iron depleted forms, as well as three varieties of silicon carbide whiskers, to acquire reactive iron on their surfaces. The aim has been to quantitate the amount of iron that can bind in short periods of time, and to measure any changes in biochemical reactivity toward DNA following binding of iron. All forms of the naturally occurring mineral fiber crocidolite, and the man-made mineral fibers (silicon carbide whiskers), were capable of acquiring iron, to varying degrees. Native crocidolite was able to bind up to 57 nmol Fe+ 2/mg crocidolite in one hour, while the iron-depleted form was capable of binding only 5. 5 nmol Fe+ 2/mg crocidolite, and the three varieties of silicon carbide whiskers bound from 2.9 to 29.0 nmol Fe+ 2/mg in the same time period. Following iron binding, the fibers were more capable of forming DNA single-strand breaks. The increase in the ability of the fibers to cause DNA strand breaks was greatest with the silicon carbide whiskers, less with iron depleted crocidolite, and the least with native crocidolite, which is likely because of the inherently high iron content of native crocidolite. Other investigation attempted to determine whether iron could be bound from more complex, physiologically relevant iron-containing solutions where potential iron chelators are abundant. Iron appeared to be acquired even from such complex mixtures as tissue culture media. Following incubation in media, the fibers were more active in catalyzing the formation of DNA strand breaks. An interesting correlation was noted between the abilities of the fibers to cause DNA strand breaks after incubation in tissue culture media and the cytotoxicity of crocidolite to A549 cells grown in the same media.

description: Abstract

Low back pain results in obstruction of the patient's functional activities which occurs due to spasm or tightness of the erector spine and quadratus lumborum muscles without any nerve root involvement. Complaints arise such as pain when bending or when moving certain objects. This study aims to determine the effect of adding core stability to the modified yoga exercise intervention on reducing functional pain in non-specific low back pain patients at KWT Mawar. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a randomized Pre test-Post test two group design, using 2 sample groups, namely the treatment group given modified yoga exercise with additional core stability exercise, and the control group given modified Yoga Exercise. The sample for this study was 40 people who met the inclusion criteria, randomized into 2 groups, namely 20 people in the treatment group and 20 people in the control group. Data collection was obtained through measuring the Oswestry Disability Index on each sample during the pre-test and post-test. Based on the analysis of the paired sample t test, the value of p = 0.000 (p<0.05) in the treatment group and p = 0.000 (p<0.05) in the control group, which means that there is a significant effect of modification of yoga exercise and core stability exercise. and modification of yoga exercise to reduce functional pain, then based on the independent t test, the value of p = 0.000 (p<0.05) was obtained with a mean difference of 11.50  (treatment) > 5.70 (control), which means there is a significant difference between the treatment group and the control group. Control of functional pain reduction in non-specific Low Back Pain patients. The conclusion of this study is that the addition of core stability exercise to the modified yoga exercise intervention has a more significant effect than the modified yoga exercise on reducing functional pain in Low Back Pain patients.

description: Dano toute comédie, on voue à l'échec l'activité du personnage qui fait obstacle à la norme, c'est-à-dire a l'union traditionnelle de jeunes amoureux. Il s'agit là, en effet, du processus comique fondamental. Or, c'est en prenant comme point de départ les modalités, chez Molière, de ce processus archétypal que nous nous proposons d'élucider, dans cette thèse, le "Weltanschauung" du dramaturge. On découvre, entre autres choses, que le personnage-obstacle agit en vertu: d'un alliage de vanité et d'insécurité. Inquiet, il se juge lui-même inférieur au projet de domination qu'il caresse. Dandin, par exemple, doit essayer de mettre dans son tort une gentilhommerie devant laquelle on le voit ramper. Quant à Alceste, il s'écarte d'un monde qu'il fréquente pourtant avec une assiduité peu commune. Tout compte fait, le personnage-obstacle poursuit une impossible entreprise. Pris au piège de limitations personnelle il est incapable de ne pas s'engager dans une activité que réprouve la société et qu'en vertu de ces mêmes limitations il ne peut jamais mener à bien. Aussi le personnage-obstacle fait-il figure de bouc émissaire, de pharmakos. Le côté expiatoire de son rôle se trouve, en .fait, d'autant mieux mis en-relief qu'au fil des comédies étudiées dans cette thèse la société se révèle dede plus en plus viciée. Dans "Dom Juan", dans "Tartuffe" et dans l'"Avare", on laisse déjà soupçonner que le mal fait partie intégrante du monde moliéresque. La société de la comédie est incapable de se défaire du personnage qui la met en danger. Dieu foudroie Dom Juan. Dans "Tartuffe", l'intervention du Prince s'impose. Enfin, dans l'"Avare", c'est à l'arrivée fortuite d'un père bienveillant qu'on doit l'heureux dénouement. Tout ceci suggère une corruption inhérente à la société comique. Dans l'"Ecole des femmes", dans "George Dandin" et dans le "Misanthrope", c'est "l'honnête homme" lui-même qu'on dévalorise. Ainsi, Alceste habite un monde de fauves auquel il reproche des fautes dont il se rend lui-même coupable. Arnolphe, Dandin et Alceste ont beau invoquer la fidélité conjugale et la sincérité, ces beaux principes ils les mettent au service d'une vanité qui les avilit. La vision qui se dégage de la dramaturgie moliéresque rejoint donc le pessimisme du siècle. Dans l'univers de Poquelin, comme dans celui d'un La Rochefoucauld, tout est suspect. "L'honnête homme" n'y obéit, somme toute, qu'à l'intérêt. C'est l'amour-propre qui l'anime. Cette vision est d'autant plus pessimiste que les êtres qu'on fait défiler devant le spectateur sont prisonniers de leur nature corrompue. On pense ici à un Pascal. A partir d'un genre dont le dynamisme repose sur l'idée ' d'un état de choses toujours'menacé, mais sans cesse rétabli, Molière conclut donc à l'immanence et à la permanence du mal.
Architectural development and dry matter production in a multisite trial on single and multiaxis apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh) grafted on different rootstocks

description: In two Italian sites, multiaxis trees slightly reduced primary axis length and secondary axis length of newly grafted trees, and increased the number of secondary shoots. The total length, node production, and total dry matter gain were proportional to the number of axis. Growth of both primary and secondary shoots, and dry matter accumulation, have been found to be also well related to rootstock vigour.
A great variability in axillary shoot production was recorded among different environments. 
Grafted trees had higher primary growth, secondary axis growth, and dry matter gain than chip budded trees.
Stem water potential measured in the second year after grafting was not affected by rootstocks or number of leaders.
Measurements performed in New Zealand (Hawke’s Bay) during the second year after grafting revealed that both final length and growth rate of primary and secondary axis were related to the rootstock rather than to the training system. 
Dwarfing rootstocks reduced the number of long vegetative shoots and increased the proportion of less vigorous shoots.

description: It is shown that the local density of states (LDOS), measured in an Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) experiment, at a single tip position contains oscillations as a function of Energy, due to quasiparticle interference, which is related to the positions of nearby scatterers. We propose a method of STM data analysis based on this idea, which can be used to locate the scatterers. In the case of a superconductor, the method can potentially distinguish the nature of the scattering by a particular impurity.

description: Additional file 2. Representative images of the second renal biopsy. Among the 23 glomeruli under light microscopy, 13 were globally sclerotic and obsolescent, and one had cellular fibrous crescent formation. Lesions of focal interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy increased from 5% at the first biopsy to 10-15%. Thickening of arteriole wall was noticed. Amyloidosis material deposit still existed in mesangium, without any sign of regression. Precursor of the amyloidosis was again confirmed as λ type light chain by IF. Focal deposit of randomly distributed, non-branching fibrils (10.0 nm) predominately involving epithelial zones was seen under EM. Taken together, compared with the results in the first biopsy, there were mild to moderate increase of amyloid material deposit, significant glomerulosclerosis, and mild increase of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy.

description: Mechanical oscillations are important for many cellular processes, e.g. the beating of cilia and flagella or the sensation of sound by hair cells. These dynamic states originate from spontaneous oscillations of molecular motors. A particularly clear example of such oscillations has been observed in muscle fibers under non-physiological conditions. In that case, motor oscillations lead to contraction waves along the fiber. By a macroscopic analysis of muscle fiber dynamics we find that the spontaneous waves involve non-hydrodynamic modes. A simple microscopic model of sarcomere dynamics highlights mechanical aspects of the motor dynamics and fits with the experimental observations.

description: Three different synthetic approaches toward N-[(2SR, 4S)-4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3-oxohexanoyl]-Lleucine methyl esters were carried out by use of i) aldol condensation and amination ii) Claisen condensation and soft acid coupling reaction iii) methylation of Hia-Leu derivative in relatively high yields. (4S)-3-[(2SR,4S)-2,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-4-(methoxyethoxymethyloxy) hexyl]-4-(1-methylethyl)-2-oxazolidinone was prepared by the reaction of aldol condensation of lithium enolate of Evans' chiral auxilary in 80 : 20 diastereomeric ratio. A new method for the synthesis of (4S)-4-(t-butoxycarbonyl)amino-5-methyl-3- oxoheptanoic acid ethyl ester (Statone) was developed by the reaction of Boc-leucine with Meldrum's acid, followed by transesterification and decarboxylation in modest yield. Other a-amino acids also were applied to this methodology in successful yields. Attempts to prepare the linear molecule, containing Statone-(4S)-5-methyl- 3-oxohexanoyl- Leu-OCpa, an analogue of Epista-Hip-Leu, was not successful.

description: The development of novel neutron optics devices that rely on perfect crystals and nano-scale features are ushering a new generation of neutron science experiments, from fundamental physics to material characterization of emerging quantum materials. However, the standard theory of dynamical diffraction (DD) that analyzes neutron propagation through perfect crystals does not consider complex geometries, deformations, and/or imperfections which are now becoming a relevant systematic effect in high precision interferometric experiments. In this work, we expand upon a quantum information (QI) model of DD that is based on propagating a particle through a lattice of unitary quantum gates. We show that the model output is mathematically equivalent to the spherical wave solution of the Takagi-Taupin equations when in the appropriate limit, and that the model can be extended to the Bragg as well as the Laue-Bragg geometry where it is consistent with experimental data. The presented results demonstrate the universality of the QI model and its potential for modeling scenarios that are beyond the scope of the standard theory of DD.

La nutrizione-idratazione artificiale è terapia? All'interfaccia tra scienza, diritto e bioetica, il fine vita in Italia, secondo una prospettiva di comunicazione della scienza post-accademica e Science&Technologies Studies (STS)

description: The question “artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) is therapy or not?” is one of the key point of end-of-life issues in Italy, since it was (and it is also nowadays) a strategic and crucial point of the Italian Bioethics discussion about the last phases of human life: determining if ANH is therapy implies the possibility of being included in the list of treatments that could be mentioned for refusal within the living will document. But who is entitled to decide and judge if ANH is a therapy or not? Scientists? The Legislator? Judges? Patients? This issue at first sight seems just a matter of science, but at stake there is more than a scientific definition. 
According to several scholars, we are in the era of post-academic Science, in which Science broaden discussion, production, negotation and decision to other social groups that are not just the scientific communities. In this process, called co-production, on one hand scientific knowledge derives from the interaction between scientists and society at large. On the other hand, science is functional to co-production of social order. The continuous negotation on which science has to be used in social decisions is just the evidence of the mirroring negotation for different way to structure and interpret society. Thus, in the interaction between Science and Law, deciding what kind of Science could be suitable for a specific kind of Law, envisages a well defined idea of society behind this choice.
I have analysed both the legislative path (still in progress) in the living will act production in Italy and Eluana Englaro’s judicial case (that somehow collapsed in the living will act negotiation), using official documents (hearings, texts of the official conference, committees comments and ruling texts) and interviewing key actors in the two processes from the science communication point of view (who talks in the name of science? Who defines what is a therapy? And how do they do?), finding support on the theoretical framework of the Science&Technologies Studies (S&TS).

description: Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare systems around the world were adopting models to manage patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Telemedicine provides an approach for remote monitoring and management of patients infected with SARS- CoV2. Several telemedicine initiatives specific to COVID-19 have been successful, reporting low hospitalization rates and mortality. We created a telemedicine service, structured around frequent, virtual appointments with providers, to monitor and manage patients infected with SARS-CoV2 at an academic, tertiary care center. Methods: A Longitudinal study was conducted among 1135 patients from June 2020 to June 2021 for Asymptomatic/ Mild symptomatic patients enrolled in the Covid home care program at a Tertiary Care Hospital residing in Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu districts. We created a novel telemedicine program to closely monitor patients infected with COVID-19 at home. Adult patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in the program at the time of documented infection. Patients were followed by a team of providers via telephone or video visits at frequent intervals until the resolution of their acute illness. Results: A total of 1135 patients were monitored, out of which wave 1 comprised 688 patients (60.6%) and wave 2 comprised 447 patients (39.4%). In wave 1, 354 patients were symptomatic in which majority of them 41.2% had a fever. In wave 2, 366 patients were symptomatic, which majority of them 48.4% had a fever. Comparing Wave 1 and Wave 2, patients in wave 2 were more symptomatic than in wave 1. The majority of them had a fever (48.4%), cough (33.1%), and body aches (26.2%) in wave 2 and in wave 1, the majority of them had loss of smell (27.4%), sore throat (13.6%) of which, patients with sore throats in wave 1 and wave 2 were statistically significant. Conclusion: Enrollment in a home monitoring program appears to be an effective and sustainable modality for the ambulatory management of COVID-19.
