description: The coloration of Citrus fruits is related with the concentration of carotenoids, isoprenoid pigments of 40 carbon atoms (C40). Rodrigo et al. (2013a) and Ma et al. (2013), reported a CCD4-type citrus dioxygenase responsible for the generation of C30 apocarotenoids providing a reddish-orange pigmentation to the peel of many mandarins and oranges. Among them, CCD4b was the first case described of a dioxygenase that cleaves carotenoids C40 in the double bond 7', 8' or 7, 8, generating β-citraurin or 8-β-apocarotenal. Here we report the tridimensional structures of CCD4a and CCD4b, modeled by sequence homology (2BIW, Kloer et al. 2005) and validated by Molecular Dynamics (MD). Docking calculations were performed in CCD4a and CCD4b structures with thousands of rotated initial carotenoid conformations and all the possible poses in the active site were found. The interaction energy was measured by means of ASE scoring, Amber99 refinement and London ΔG rescoring. For the case of CCD4a model, the results showed London ΔG score of -19, -17 and -15 kcal/mol for zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene, respectively. The same sequence in the estimated interaction strength for the three ligands was obtained using MD. The interaction energy of CCD4b indicated that, in agreement with experimental data, zeaxanthin and β-cryptoxanthin could be cleaved by the enzyme, β- and α-carotene have chances to be oxidized and lycopene has not good interaction energy to be predicted as substrate. These findings will be discussed considering the potential in vivo substrates and products, and the physiological role in Citrus fruits.

description: Herein, electrically conductive natural and synthetic yarns through electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique were fabricated. A parametric study on the conductivity enhancement of the yarns is carried out by Taguchi method. Using this method, the desirable conditions are determined by studying the effects of important parameters on the electrical conductivity of the yarns in the EPD coating process. Based on the L18 design of experiments table, the preferred combination of factors to obtain the highest electrical conductivity of the yarns is found by Taguchi analysis. In addition, the Pareto ANOVA analysis is conducted to identify the major contributing factors on the electrical conductivity of the yarns. Characterisation techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are utilised for better understanding the microstructure and physical properties. When powered by only 3 V, the maximum temperature of a Joule heated conductive sample based on natural fibre yarns reached 102°C in less than 25 s.

description: We demonstrate that the large-N expansion of Wilson loop expectation values in SO(N) and Sp(N) Yang-Mills theory on orientable and nonorientable surfaces has a natural description as a weighted sum over covers of the given surface. The sum takes the form of the perturbative expansion of an open string theory. The derivation makes contact with the classification of branched covers by Gabai and Kazez. Comparison with the analogous results for the chiral sectors of QCD_2 is instructive for both cases.

description: Cold stellar streams---produced by tidal disruptions of clusters---are long-lived, coherent dynamical features in the halo of the Milky Way. Due to their different ages and different positions in phase space, different streams tell us different things about the Galaxy. Here we employ a Cramer--Rao (CRLB) or Fisher-matrix approach to understand the quantitative information content in eleven known streams (ATLAS, GD-1, Hermus, Kwando, Orinoco, PS1A, PS1C, PS1D, PS1E, Sangarius and Triangulum). This approach depends on a generative model, which we have developed previously, and which permits calculation of derivatives of predicted stream properties with respect to Galaxy and stream parameters. We find that in simple analytic models of the Milky Way, streams on eccentric orbits contain the most information about the halo shape. For each stream, there are near-degeneracies between dark-matter-halo properties and parameters of the bulge, the disk, and the stream progenitor, but simultaneous fitting of multiple streams will constrain all parameters at the percent level. At this precision, simulated dark matter halos deviate from simple analytic parametrizations, so we add an expansion of basis functions to give the gravitational potential more freedom. As freedom increases, the information about the halo reduces overall, and it becomes more localized to the current position of the stream. In the limit of high model freedom, a stellar stream appears to measure the local acceleration at its current position; this motivates thinking about future non-parametric approaches. The CRLB formalism also permits us to assess the value of future measurements of stellar velocities, distances, and proper motions. We show that kinematic measurements of stream stars are essential for producing competitive constraints on the distribution of dark matter, which bodes well for stream studies in the age of Gaia.

description: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are pentamers formed by subunits from a large multigene family and are highly variable in kinetic, electrophysiological and pharmacological properties. Due to the essential roles of nAChRs in many physiological procedures and diversity in function, identifying the function-related sites specific to each subunit is not only necessary to understand the properties of the receptors but also useful to design potential therapeutic compounds that target these macromolecules for treating a series of central neuronal disorders. By conducting a detailed function divergence analysis on nine neuronal nAChR subunits from representative vertebrate species, we revealed the existence of significant functional variation between most subunit pairs. Specifically, 44 unique residues were identified for the α7 subunit, while another 22 residues that were likely responsible for the specific features of other subunits were detected. By mapping these sites onto the 3 D structure of the human α7 subunit, a structure-function relationship profile was revealed. Our results suggested that the functional divergence related sites clustered in the ligand binding domain, the β2–β3 linker close to the N-terminal α-helix, the intracellular linkers between transmembrane domains, and the “transition zone” may have experienced altered evolutionary rates. The former two regions may be potential binding sites for the α7* subtype-specific allosteric modulators, while the latter region is likely to be subtype-specific allosteric modulations of the heteropentameric descendants such as the α4β2* nAChRs.

Political economy of Indonesia's decentralisation
Creators: name: Hendrawan, Adrianus
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: The thesis comprises three empirical papers on the political economy of decentralisation in Indonesia. The first paper examines the effect of local majority (political party) coalitions on district fiscal and service outcomes. Applying a regression discontinuity approach, the paper finds that districts with majority coalitions raise more own-revenues and spend more, especially on health functions, than districts with minority coalitions. The analysis also determines that majority coalition districts improve access to health services. The findings suggest that majority coalition governments can, in part, mitigate the negative effects of political fragmentation at the district level. The second paper examines the incumbency advantage of mayors running for re-election. The paper investigates individual candidate (as opposed to political party) incumbency across elections from 2005 to 2017. The study applies regression discontinuity methods to a newly developed dataset on mayoral elections. The analysis finds very strong (unconditional) incumbency effects: incumbents are slightly less than 50 percent more likely to run in the next election than non-incumbents and they are also around 50 percent more likely to run and win the election than their non-incumbent counterparts. Furthermore, the study determines that these effects are stronger in districts with better access to basic services, broadly supporting arguments on behalf of political accountability. The third paper assesses the determinants of corruption across districts between 2001 and 2016 and analyses the effect of corruption on fiscal, service access, and financial audit outcomes. Similar to other developing countries, corruption has been a major problem in Indonesia. Largely ignored during the Soeharto era, the advent of democracy and decentralisation in the past two decades has led to widespread recognition of the severity of corruption, and stimulated a massive anti-corruption agenda, particularly through the establishment of the corruption eradication commission (KPK). Applying Poisson regressions, the paper finds that district location is a strong determinant of corruption. Districts that are farther from Jakarta and closer to provincial capitals are significantly more corrupt. Using geographic proximity as an instrument in two-stage least square regressions, the paper finds that more corruption leads to higher personnel spending, lower capital spending, and worse external financial audits. Corruption also reduces health spending and leads to slower improvement of access to health services. Utilising a newly developed database of corruption cases, this paper substantially extends the research on corruption in developing countries.

description: We investigate in detail the critical $N{=}2$ fermionic string with and without a global ${\bf Z}_2$ twist. An analysis of BRST cohomology shows that twisted sectors contain massless `spacetime' fermions which are {\it non-local\/} with respect to the standard massless boson. However, two distinct GSO projections exist, one (untwisted) retaining merely the usual boson and its spectral-flow partner, the other (twisted) yielding two fermions and one boson, on the massless level. The corresponding chiral BRST-invariant vertex operators are constructed in certain pictures, and their fusion and picture-changing are investigated, including the construction of inverse picture-changing operators. The $N{=}2$ `spacetime supersymmetry' generators are {\it null\/} operators, since the twisted massless states fail to interact. The untwisted three- and four-point functions are recalculated at tree-level.

description: Closing the Last Deglacial Global Sea Level Budget by Different Antarctic Deglaciation Models Abstract: The last deglacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), the world’s largest freshwater reservoir, is important for monitoring the current AIS change and projecting the future sea-level rise trend. However, due to the lack of direct observational constraints on AIS last deglacial history, currently, most of the knowledge of AIS deglaciation is from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) modelling studies. Currently, the most widely used AIS GIA models are ICE-6G_C (Argus et al., 2014, Peltier et al., 2015), W12 (Whitehouse et al., 2012a) and IJ05_R2 (Ivins et al., 2013). Although after combining with their preferred Earth models, they all show good capability to predict reasonable predictions compared to the geodetic observations (e.g, Global Positioning System), the great differences between their adopted deglaciation models would cause large uncertainties in their estimations. Here we show a global sea-level budget consistent GIA modelling approach to compare them with two high-quality far-field sea-level datasets (H18; Hibbert et al., 2018, L14; Lambeck et al., 2014) constructed using different underlying philosophies to test their compatibilities with the far-field sea-level observations. Similar to a previous study of Lambeck et al. (2014), the global sea-level budget in this study is defined by the global ice volume history reconstructed from each observational datasets. From our calculation, a large ice mass loss between 20-15 ka BP predicted by W12 is most likely to be incorrect, since it shows large inconsistencies with both observational datasets, suggesting that during this late glacial period, AIS should have a stable or an advanced phase. And during ~15-11 ka BP, far-field sea-level records shows a preference with ICE-6G_C, which is the only model with a distinct contribution to meltwater pulse 1a and 1b, showing good consistency with the much more dynamic cryospheric environment revealed by the new global ice volume history reconstruced from the H18 dataset, as well as previous GIA studies (e.g., Clark et al., 2002).
Faith in Action: Understanding the Relationship between Faith and Practice for Evangelical Humanitarian Organisations
Creators: name: Moore, Alana
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: The increased interest in and willingness to consider the role of religious actors, ideas and practices in the IR discipline is a promising development of contemporary scholarship. Within the study of humanitarianism in particular, attention to the range of ways in which religion infuses action and meaning in the global space has raised important questions about how best to go about answering the questions of when and how these religious factors matter. However, the slow pace at which the field is moving away from secular framings of humanitarianism means that religious actors are still largely under-conceptualised, and poorly understood. This disproportionately affects perceptions of religious actors that do not obviously resemble the mainstream aid community, such as evangelical Christian faith-based organisations (FBOs). Understanding the relationship between their religious identity and their humanitarian practices in a manner that does not reproduce such framings is an important research task to contribute to this field. This thesis seeks to advance conceptualisation of this relationship by providing such a theoretical framework. It also contributes original empirical evidence through case studies to which this framework is applied. It explores the relationship between identity and practice by asking what role theological commitments play in guiding the humanitarian practices of evangelical Christian FBOs. It does so by examining three evangelical humanitarian agencies - World Vision, Samaritan's Purse, and Compassion International - as they engaged with two humanitarian disasters in the Asia Pacific region: the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia, and the 2008 Cyclone Nargis in the Ayeyarwady delta region in Myanmar. It finds that their evangelical theological commitments play an important part in constructing an organisational identity and set of values for each agency, which then orients them towards certain styles of response. However, this understanding of the role of faith is incomplete without also considering the constitutive role of context in both giving the boundaries in which those beliefs can be expressed, and supplying important pressures, constraints, and demands that shape that expression. Their theological commitments created a framework of action for these evangelical FBOs that interacted constitutively with a prism of environmental factors in order to produce humanitarian practices that both reflected and diverged from the broader mainstream response, depending on circumstances. These findings highlight the importance of approaching religious organisations as complex and agentive actors, who adopt, reject or adapt to the pressures of the dynamic environments in which they work. It is an insight necessary not just for dealing with evangelical FBOs working in the humanitarian space, but in understanding religious actors across various sites of global politics.

The key to the construction is a natural connection in a suitable infinite dimensional vector bundle over the space of maps from a Riemann surface (the world sheet) to an almost complex manifold (the target). We show that the covariant derivative of the section defined by the differential operator that appears in the equation for pseudo-holomorphic curves is precisely the linearization of the operator itself. We also discuss the Mathai-Quillen formalism of gauged topological sigma models.

Breeding and persistence of woodland birds in restoration plantings
Creators: name: Belder, Donna
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Habitat loss and fragmentation are major influences on the distribution and composition of ecological communities, and are also linked to a loss of agricultural productivity due to ecosystem degradation. As such, there is increasing impetus for the implementation of revegetation in fragmented agricultural landscapes worldwide. Restoration plantings are often intended to provide habitat for threatened fauna and restore ecosystem health. In Australia, loss of temperate woodland habitat has caused the decline of many woodland bird species. There have been numerous studies investigating how bird community richness and abundance is influenced by restoration plantings and other woodland patches in fragmented agricultural landscapes, but this "pattern-focused" research does not provide evidence that restoration plantings can support resident populations of woodland birds. This approach limits the ability of land managers and scientists to assess whether woodland patches provide suitable habitat for woodland birds, and therefore to effectively assess whether restoration plantings are fulfilling their fundamental purpose as a conservation strategy. In this thesis, I address this knowledge gap through an empirical research project undertaken in the South-west Slopes bioregion of New South Wales, Australia. The series of papers presented in this thesis examines the research questions in increasing detail, beginning with a comprehensive literature review that places the remaining chapters in context of the broad knowledge gap (Chapter 1), then recording evidence of breeding activity (Chapter 2), monitoring nest success and daily nest survival (Chapter 3), and examining the home ranges and annual survival of individually tagged woodland birds (Chapter 4). These papers collectively represent a detailed study of the responses of woodland birds to box-gum grassy woodland restoration plantings in a fragmented agricultural landscape. I offer management implications of each chapter's key findings in the relevant discussion sections, and conclude the thesis with a synthesis of applications and directions for future research on the topic.

description: mm-wave emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) may hold the key to understanding the physical origin of their radio cores. The correlation between radio/mm and X-ray luminosity may suggest a similar physical origin of the two sources. Since synchrotron self absorption decreases with frequency, mm-waves probe smaller length scales than cm-waves. We report on 100 GHz (3 mm) observations with CARMA of 26 AGNs selected from the hard X-ray Swift/BAT survey. 20/26 targets were detected at 100 GHz down to the 1 mJy (3 $σ$) sensitivity, which corresponds to optically thick synchrotron source sizes of 10$^{-4}$ - 10$^{-3}$ pc). Most sources show a 100 GHz flux excess with respect to the spectral slope extrapolated from low frequencies. This mm spectral component likely originates from smaller scales than the few-GHz emission. The measured mm sources lie roughly around the L$_{mm}$ (100 GHz) $\sim$ 10$^{-1}$ L$_{X}$ (2-10 keV) relation, similar to a few previously published X-ray selected sources, and hinting perhaps at a common coronal origin.

description: The quantum mechanical version of the four kinds of classical canonical transformations is investigated by using non-hermitian operator techniques. To help understand the usefulness of this appoach the eigenvalue problem of a harmonic oscillator is solved in two different types of canonical transformations. The quantum form of the classical Hamiton-Jacobi theory is also employed to solve time dependent Schrödinger wave equations, showing that when one uses the classical action as a generating function of the quantum canonical transformation of time evolutions of state vectors, the corresponding propagator can easily be obtained.

Implementing the Australian Curriculum in Music: an initial study assessing its praxial potential in secondary schools in Canberra
Creators: name: Clark, Alexander
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the design, development, and implementation of the Australian Curriculum in Music in secondary schools in Canberra. Music has long been an area of contention within curricula, but it remains present in the Australian Curriculum. There is a lacuna of detailed analysis of secondary music teachers and courses in relation to the Australian Curriculum, so addressing this gap may allow for a better understanding of how teachers implement the Curriculum in their classrooms. Using an original analytical framework derived from literature surrounding music education, I have assessed the Curriculum for any issues in design, development, or implementation. This analysis ranges from inception to publication, and serves as the context against which a small sample of interviews with secondary music teachers will be explored. The final section of this thesis analyses and compares coursework documents that capture a detailed snapshot of the potentially vast range of individual interpretations of the Curriculum. Combined, the three sections of this thesis reveal the benefits and shortcomings of the Australian Curriculum in Music, examine some of the systemic issues in music education and teacher training, and highlight the importance of teacher expertise in delivering secondary music education.

description: This study aimed to analyze the income level of processing and marketing of chicken crispy from three sales outlets on various sales scale. The research was conducted at three locations of chicken crispy selling business, namely A, B and C. The research method was case study. Sampling using "stratified random sampling". The scale of business is the number of chickens processed, which is for scale I (7 heads/day) (outlet A), scale II (5 heads/day) (outlet B) and scale III (3 heads/day) (outlet C). Method of processing and data analysis using descriptive analysis previously conducted normality test data by Kolmogorov Smimov. The results showed that the average monthly fixed costs for outlets A, B and C respectively were IDR 964,334; IDR 826,834 and IDR 368,500. Variable cost IDR 11,797,000; IDR 8,744,500; and IDR 5,186,000. Benefits permonth IDR 6,642,667; IDR 4,288,667 and IDR 2,299,500. The B/C ratio is 1.52; 1.45 and 1.41 and BEP was IDR 2,459,830; IDR 2,672,138 and IDR 1,258,621. The result of this research can be concluded that there were real difference of profit from three types of outlets (three level of business scale). The number of fried chicken products produced in large quantities equally affects profits. Increased business scale significantly increases monthly income.

description: The classical Second Law of Thermodynamics demands that an isolated system evolves with a non-diminishing entropy. This holds as well in quantum mechanics if the evolution of the energy-isolated system can be described by a unital quantum channel. At the same time, the entropy of a system evolving via a non-unital channel can, in principle, decrease. Here, we analyze the behavior of the entropy in the context of the H-theorem. As exemplary phenomena, we discuss the action of a Maxwell demon (MD) operating a qubit and the processes of heating and cooling in a two-qubit system. We further discuss how small initial correlations between a quantum system and a reservoir affect the increase in the entropy under the evolution of the quantum system.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Limitation to Quantum Measurements of Spacetime Distances
Creators: name: Ng, Y. Jack
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Inspired by the work of Wheeler among others, we have studied the problem of quantum measurements of space-time distances by applying the general principles of quantum mechanics as well as those of general relativity. Contrary to the folklore, the minimum error in the measurement of a length is shown to be proportional to the one-third power of the length itself. This uncertainty in space-time measurements implies an uncertainty of the space-time metric and yields quantum decoherence for particles heavier than the Planck mass. There is also a corresponding minimum error in energy-momentum measurements.

description: We propose a series of new subalgebras of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra parametrized by polynomials $p(w)$, and study their quasifinite representations. We also investigate the relation between such subalgebras and the $\hat{\mbox{gl}}(\infty)$ algebra. As an example, we investigate the $\Win$ algebra which corresponds to the case $p(w)=w$, presenting its free field realizations and Kac determinants at lower levels.

description: The applications of parabosons by Schmutz (1980) and of supersymmetry by Jarvis {\em et al.} (1984) in Jahn-Teller systems are compared and contrasted. Although a parasupersymmetric Jahn-Teller system has not yet been identified, the method of Schmutz is used here to show that the $E \times ε$ supersymmetric Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian can be written in terms of paraboson operators.

Universe opacity and CMB

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A cosmological model, in which the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a thermal radiation of intergalactic dust instead of a relic radiation of the Big Bang, is revived and revisited. The model suggests that a virtually transparent local Universe becomes considerably opaque at redshifts $z > 2-3$. Such opacity is hardly to be detected in the Type Ia supernova data, but confirmed using quasar data. The opacity steeply increases with redshift because of a high proper density of intergalactic dust in the previous epochs. The temperature of intergalactic dust increases as $(1+z)$ and exactly compensates the change of wavelengths due to redshift, so that the dust radiation looks apparently like the radiation of the blackbody with a single temperature. The predicted dust temperature is $T^{D} = 2.776 \, \mathrm{K}$, which differs from the CMB temperature by 1.9\% only, and the predicted ratio between the total CMB and EBL intensities is 13.4 which is close to 12.5 obtained from observations. The CMB temperature fluctuations are caused by EBL fluctuations produced by galaxy clusters and voids in the Universe. The polarization anomalies of the CMB correlated with temperature anisotropies are caused by the polarized thermal emission of needle-shaped conducting dust grains aligned by large-scale magnetic fields around clusters and voids. A strong decline of the luminosity density for $z > 4$ is interpreted as the result of high opacity of the Universe rather than of a decline of the global stellar mass density at high redshifts.

Quantum Heisenberg Group and Algebra: Contraction, Left and Right Regular Representations
Creators: name: Ellinas, Demosthenes

Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We show that the quantum Heisenberg group $H_{q}(1)$ can be obtained by means of contraction from quantum $SU_q(2)$ group. Its dual Hopf algebra is the quantum Heisenberg algebra $U_{q}(h(1))$. We derive left and right regular representations for $U_{q}(h(1))$ as acting on its dual $H_{q}(1)$. Imposing conditions on the right representation the left representation is reduced to an irreducible holomorphic representation with an associated quantum coherent state. By duality, left and right regular representations for quantum Heisenberg group with the quantum Heisenberg algebra as representation module are also constructed. As before reduction of left representations leads to finite dimensional irreducible ones for which the intertwinning operator is also investigated.

Targeting ribosome biogenesis and metabolism in acute myeloid leukaemia
Creators: name: Ferguson, Laura
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Targeting ribosome biogenesis, a cellular process frequently upregulated in cancer, with the novel Pol I transcription inhibitor CX-5461 is highly efficacious in pre-clinical models of solid and haematological cancers, which lead to the commencement of clinical trials. However, as is common with single agent therapies in the mouse models (similar to challenges with treating human patients), the mice eventually succumb to disease, highlighting the need for a combination therapy approach. Based on the strong link between altered ribosome biogenesis and metabolism in cancer it was hypothesised that targeting these two processes in combination would prove efficacious in cancer, and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was chosen to test this as it is an aggressive malignancy with poor therapeutic options. In order to address this hypothesis In vitro drug synergy testing in AML cell lines was performed to identify promising combinations (Chapter 3), these were then tested for efficacy in in vivo transplant models of AML (Chapter 4). Finally, in vitro mechanistic analysis of the most promising drug combination was performed in order to understand the mechanisms of synergy (Chapter 5). In vitro testing of CX-5461 in combination with 10 clinically-approved metabolism-modifying drugs confirmed that orlistat, dichloroacetate (DCA), ritonavir, omeprazole and chloroquine act synergistically with CX-5461 to reduce cell viability in multiple AML cell lines. Three such combination therapies were evaluated in a syngeneic mouse AML model. Neither orlistat nor DCA improved survival in combination with CX-5461 compared to CX-5461 alone, however synergy was observed with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine. Interestingly, the combination of CX-5461 and chloroquine had limited efficacy in human cell line xenograft mouse models, despite strong in vitro results. As the dosing of CX-5461 and chloroquine could not be increased due to toxicity, mechanistic analysis was performed in order to identify an alternative to chloroquine with reduced toxicity, and potentially improved efficacy. CX-5461 and chloroquine were found to synergise through cell cycle arrest and cell death in all four cell lines tested. Metabolic flux analysis revealed that the combination of drugs significantly affected mitochondrial activity, indicating that the combination of CX-5461 and chloroquine is placing the cells in mitochondrial stress. Therefore, direct targeting of the mitochondria was identified as a promising approach in combination with ribosome biogenesis inhibition with CX-5461, and various clinically-approved drugs that target mitochondria were identified for future combination testing.

description: In 2015, the LHCb collaboration has measured $\frac{d{\mathcal{B}}}{dq^2}$, the lepton- and hadron-side forward-backward asymmetries, denoted by $A^\ell_{FB}$ and $A^Λ_{FB}$, respectively in the range $15 < q^2(=s) < 20$ GeV$^2$ with 3 fb$^{-1}$ of data. Motivated by these measurements, we perform an analysis of $q^2$ dependent $Λ_b \to Λ(\to p π) μ^+μ^-$ angular observables at large- and low-recoil in the SM and in a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model. In the present study we use the recently performed high-precision lattice QCD calculations of the form factors that have well controlled uncertainties especially in $15 < s < 20$ GeV$^2$ bin. Using the full four-folded angular distribution of $Λ_b \to Λ(\to p π) μ^+μ^-$ decay, firstly we calculate the values of these measured quantitites in the SM and compare their numerical values with the measurements in appropriate bins of $s$. In case of the possible discrepancy between the SM prediction and measurements, we try to see if these can be accommodated though the extra neutral $Z^{\prime}$ boson. In addition, the fraction of longitudinal polarization of the dimuon $F_{L}$ is measured to be $0.61^{+0.11}_{-0.14}\pm 0.03$ in $15 < s < 20$ GeV$^2$ at the LHCb. We find that in this bin the value found in the $Z^{\prime}$ model is close to the observed values. After comparing the results of these observables, we have proposed a number of other observables whose values are calculated in different bins of $s$ in the SM and $Z^{\prime}$ model. We illustrate that the experimental observations of these observables in several bins of $s$ can help to test the predictions of the SM and unravel NP contributions arises due to $Z^{\prime}$ model in these decays.
