description: Vaccine certificates have been implemented worldwide, aiming to promote vaccination rates and to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, their use during the COVID-19 pandemic was controversial and has been criticized for infringing upon medical autonomy and individual rights. We administered a national online survey exploring social and demographic factors predicting the degree of public approval of vaccine certificates in Canada. We conducted a multivariate linear regression which revealed which factors were predictive of vaccine certificate acceptance in Canada. Self-reported minority status (p < .001), rurality (p < .001), political ideology (p < .001), age (p < .001), having children under 18 in the household (p < .001), education (p = .014), and income status (p = .034) were significant predictors of attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccine certificates. We observed the lowest vaccine-certificate approval among participants who: self-identify as a visible minority; live in rural areas; are politically conservative; are 18–34 years of age; have children under age 18 living in the household; have completed an apprenticeship or trades education; and those with an annual income between $100,000–$159,999. The present findings are valuable for their ability to inform the implementation of vaccine certificates during future pandemic scenarios which may require targeted communication between public health agencies and under-vaccinated populations.

description: The missense mutation in the mismatch repair gene MSH2 underlies in several hereditary cancers. In this study, we have detailed the disruptive mutation of G322D that overtly pathogenic and clinically relevant to the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) on the basis of structural aspect to untangle the unknown factors. We systematically evaluated the conformational changes that undergo upon mutation from the annotation of intra-residual contacts, secondary structural arrangements and fold recognition through molecular dynamics simulation. At first, we interpreted the total of 88 intra-molecular interaction which is required minimally to maintain the native structural architecture. Adequately, the molecular dynamics approach is well contributed towards structural modification that takes places in C-terminal linking 290-294(L20), 339-347(L23-T16- α9-T17) and 373-395(α12-T19-20-L26-T21-L27-T22) in contrast to native 290-294(β8), 339-347(T20-α9-T21-α10), 373-395(α12-T19-20-L26-T21-L27-T22) provides a straightforward evidence that is underpinning destabilization and protein misfolding. Eventually, we have highlighted the structural debilitation of G322D in the core region of 303-309 L23-T18-α6 - L21- α8, and 326-330 α7-T19-L25 -α9 notably the connecting elements of secondary structural propensity (loop-helix) in folding pack were completely abrupted which helps to keep native form. Essentially, the information gained in our study on residual interaction and conformational transitions in the structure of mutant MSH2 provides valuable insights to understand the clues of functional behavior and also pave the way to frame suitable and improved therapeutical targets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.After two decades of high recruitments in the 1970s and 1980s, recruitment of Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) declined to historically low levels in Chesapeake Bay and has remained there since the 1990s. Two underlying mechanisms were evaluated to explain recruitment variability: (i) variable larval‐stage ingress from the coastal ocean and (ii) trophodynamic/energetics processes operating on juveniles within Chesapeake Bay. Surveys at the Bay mouth were conducted to estimate abundance of ingressing larvae, hatch dates and growth rates. Long‐term data on recruitment levels of juveniles in the Bay were analysed with respect to environmental variables. Growth and bioenergetics models were developed for filter‐feeding menhaden to determine interannual and regional variability. Annual abundance of larvae at ingress in 2006–2008 varied ninefold but levels were not concordant with recruited juvenile abundance 6 months later. Hatch dates of larvae were mostly in October to January, but surviving juveniles hatched mostly in January–February. Ingressing larvae grew fastest in 2007, the year of lowest abundance. Juvenile recruitments from 1989–2004 were strongly correlated with chlorophyll a. The bioenergetics model, parameterized for body size, temperature, and chlorophyll a, accurately portrayed observed growth and growth based on a temperature–degree day model. Regional climate variability acting on survival of eggs and larvae, combined with variable primary productivity and predation rates acting on juveniles, are believed to drive long‐term recruitment levels of menhaden in Chesapeake Bay.

description: Root growth into hypoxic or anoxic waterlogged soil relies on internal aeration in plants. The plant hormone ethylene helps adapt to waterlogging by inducing the formation of aerenchyma, which provides a low-resistance pathway for the transport of oxygen from the shoot to the root apex. Waterlogging-susceptible crops including barley start to form aerenchyma after suffering waterlogging stress. But waterlogging can be fatal if aerenchyma formation is not fast enough. Here, we investigated whether pre-treating barley with ethephon, an ethylene-releasing agrochemical, could improve its tolerance to mimicked waterlogging conditions (using stagnant deoxygenated agar nutrient solution). In barley growing in aerated nutrient solution, ethephon treatment enhanced aerenchyma formation at the root tips and induced the development of shorter and shallower roots. Pre-treating barley leaves also delayed waterlogging-caused whiting and increased the percentages of viable root-tips under waterlogging conditions. However, the pretreatment did not noticeably increase fresh weight or shoot length. Further studies are needed to optimize ethephon treatment conditions to improve barley production under waterlogged conditions.

description: The COVID-19 epidemic in December 2019 had a significant negative impact on people’s health and economies all across the world. The most effective preventive measure against COVID-19 is vaccination. Therefore, the development and production of COVID-19 vaccines is booming worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the current state of that research and its development tendency by bibliometrics. We conducted a thorough search of the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer1.6.18 was used to perform the bibliometric analysis of these papers. A total of 6,325 papers were finally included. The USA maintained a top position worldwide. Shimabukuro Tom T and Harvard University were the most prolific author and institution. The Vaccines was the most published journal. The research hotspots of COVID-19 vaccines can be classified into vaccine hesitancy, vaccine safety and effectiveness, vaccine immunogenicity, and adverse reactions to vaccines. Studies on various vaccination types have also concentrated on efficacy against continuously developing virus strains, immunogenicity, side effects, and safety.
The Post Minkowskii Expansion of General Relativity

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a post-Minkowskii approximation of general relativity as a power series expansion in G, Newton's gravitational constant. Material sources are hidden behind boundaries, and only the vacuum Einstein equations are considered. An iterative procedure is described which, in one complete step, takes any approximate solution of the Einstein equations and produces a new approximation which has the error decreased by a factor of G. Each step in the procedure consists of three parts: first the equations of motion are used to update the trajectories of the boundaries; then the field equations are solved using a retarded Green's function for Minkowskii space; finally a gauge transformation is performed which makes the geometry well behaved at future null infinity. Differences between this approach to the Einstein equations and similar ones are that we use a general (non-harmonic) gauge and formulate the procedure in a constructive manner which emphasizes its suitability for implementation on a computer.

description: The purpose of this study in the area of preparatory training of language teachers is to explore student-teachers’ own opinions of university courses and particularly to obtain a detailed account of how student-teachers rate the types of courses offered at universities. On the basis of this information and the review of the related literature we can evaluate the extent to which the content of university courses might be revised in order to accommodate new developments in the ELT profession. A total of 277 Student-Teacher Questionnaires were distributed of which 105 were answered by student-teachers at the University of Athens and 172 were answered by student-teachers at the University of Thessaloniki. The results of the present study demonstrate that the student-teacher assessment of courses offered at Greek universities is generally positive. Yet, the student-teachers’ evaluation of the four skills, methodology and practice teaching courses are related positively to their performance in the language classroom.

description: The influence of passivating ligand on electron-phonon relaxation dynamics of the smallest sized gold clusters was studied using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and theoretical modeling. The electron dynamics in Au279, Au329, and Au329 passivated with TBBT, SC2Ph and SC6, respectively, were investigated. Ultrafast transient absorption measurements were also carried out on Au~1400 (SC6) and Au~2000 (SC6) to understand the influence of the size on electron-phonon relaxation with the same passivating ligand. The study has revealed interesting aspects on the role of ligand on electron-phonon relaxation dynamics wherein the aromatic passivating ligands, SC2Ph and TBBT, have shown smaller power dependence and higher plasmon bleach indicating dampened plasmon resonance while the cluster with aliphatic passivating ligand has behaved similarly to regular plasmonic gold nanoparticles. To model the effect of the ligand on the plasmonic properties of the investigated samples , free electron density correction factor of each one was calculated using three-layered Mie theory, and the results show that SC6 inter-acts least with core-gold while TBBT and SC2Ph have a greater effect on the surface electronic conductivity that is attributed to pi-interaction of the ligand with gold. The results also shed light on unusual electron-phonon relaxation and smaller slope observed for Au329 (SC2Ph) that is ascribed to surface gold-pi interaction creating a hybrid state. In contrast, extended pi-interaction is probably the reason for plasmonic nature observed in Au279 (TBBT) even though its size is smaller when compared to Au329. In addition, the results also have shown that the electron-phonon coupling has increased with an increase in the size of the cluster and theoretical modeling has shown higher electron conductivity for larger plasmonic gold clusters.

description: Despite widespread availability of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), its uptake in many Arab countries is relatively low. This literature review aimed to scope evidence on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH) in the Arab world. A total of 134 articles reporting prevalence of COVID-19 VH and associated factors, conducted in any of the 22 Arab League countries, were reviewed. COVID-19 VH prevalence ranged from 5.4% to 83.0%. Female gender, young age, low education level and lack of previous influenza vaccine uptake were most commonly reported to be associated with COVID-19 VH. The most-reported personal concerns contributing toward VH were related to the rapid development, safety and side effects of vaccine, as well as an overall lack of trust in government policies toward pandemic control and widespread conspiracy theories. Tailored interventions to enable the distribution of trusted information and enhance public acceptance of immunization are warranted.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A Spatial Eulerian Ecosystem and Population Dynamic Model (SEAPODYM) is used in a data assimilation study aiming to estimate model parameters that describe spawning conditions and dynamics of anchoveta and sardine larvae in the Humboldt Current system (HCS) off Peru. Initially developed for large pelagic fish (e.g. tuna), SEAPODYM was adapted for this study to small pelagic species, and configured to a regional domain using the ROMS‐PISCES coupled physical–biogeochemical model as an input. Environmental variables are used to define a spawning habitat. This habitat is critical because it controls the initial recruitment of larvae in the first cohort and subsequent spatio‐temporal variability of natural mortality during their drift with currents described by a system of Eulerian equations. We conducted a series of optimization experiments using sampling data of anchovy and sardine larvae to estimate the parameters of the spawning habitat of both species. Different mechanisms proposed to control the fish larvae recruitment are explored: temperature, trade‐off between presence/absence of prey and predators of larvae, retention or dispersion by currents. The large interannual to multidecadal fluctuations observed in the recruitment of both anchovy and sardine species is analysed and discussed with regard to the optimal parameterization achieved.

description: Fetal heart rate variability (fHRV) is an important indicator of health and disease, yet its physiological origins, neural contributions in particular, are not well understood. We aimed to develop novel experimental and data analytical approaches to identify fHRV measures reflecting the vagus nerve contributions to fHRV. In near-term ovine fetuses, a comprehensive set of 46 fHRV measures was computed from fetal pre-cordial electrocardiogram recorded during surgery and 72 hours later without (n=24) and with intra-surgical bilateral cervical vagotomy (n=15). The fetal heart rate did not change due to vagotomy. We identify fHRV measures specific to the vagal modulation of fHRV: Multiscale time irreversibility asymmetry index (AsymI), Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) alpha1, Kullback-Leibler permutation entropy (KLPE) and Scale dependent Lyapunov exponent slope (SDLE alpha). We provide a systematic delineation of vagal contributions to fHRV across signal-analytical domains which should be relevant for the emerging field of bioelectronic medicine and the deciphering of the vagus code. Our findings also have clinical significance for in utero monitoring of fetal health during surgery.

Greek Intonation in English: Results from an Auditory and Instrumental Study
Creators: name: Georgountzou, Anastasia
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 1991

description: The present work is part of a larger study which aims to trace intonational interference from Modern Greek (MGR) in the speech of Greek learners of English. Intonational per­formance has been studied in 1. MGR. as spoken by 44 native speakers (NSMGR), 2. English as spoken by the same 44NSMGR, and 3. English as spoken by a control group of 12 native speakers (NES), as a check on existing descriptions of english intonation (principally O' Connor and Arnold, 1973). Auditory transcription of recordings was supplemented by fundamental frequency curves plotted from laryngogragh re­cordings. Results reported here relate to tonicity (placement of nuclear accent) and tone (pitch movement on nuclear accent) in two sentence types: negative statements and wh- questions. For these two types, Greek and English have characteristically different intonation treatments, as is established by the results for NSMGR and NES. For example, in Greek negative statements the nucleus is regularly found on the negative particle or its equivalent (nearly 60% of cases in the pre­sent data); for English from NES only about 15% of cases show this pattern. For English from NSMGR, about 41% of the examples show the Greek-type pattern inappropriately imposed upon English- a clear instance of interference. Similar interference is evident in the other category. The highest level of interference was found to occur in those students of English with the shortest exposure to English, suggesting that intonation skills improve over time even without explicit intonation training.

Developing the Concept of Multi-Competence
Creators: name: Cook, V. J.
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 1991

description: The classic poverty-of-the-stimulus argument of Universal Grammar theory deals with how the mind acquires one grammar. The argument needs to be substantially restated to cover the case of L2 learning so that the product of learning is not just one grammar nor two separate grammars but two grammars existing within one head, i.e. ‘multi-competence’. Multi-competence could be seen as no more than a label for people who possess two or more language systems specific to the poverty-of-the-stimulus argument. The present paper however investigates the more general hypothesis that the grammars of multi-competence form a total language system within the mind rather than independent systems. The bulk of the paper summarises evidence that the minds of L2 users have one interconnected system at some level rather than two distinct systems, based on the following types of evidence: • people who know an L2 differ cognitively from people who know only an L1 • L2 users differ from monolinguals in knowledge of the L1 • advanced L2 users differ from monolinguals in knowledge of the L2 • L1 and L2 share the same process/stores • both languages are physically stored in the same place in the brain Each of these areas tends to confirm the multi-competence idea, without of course denying that in some respects the two languages are nevertheless distinct in the mind. The final discussion deals with some issues with integrating multi competence with the usual Universal Grammar model of Second Language Acquisition.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Slower growing individuals are more vulnerable to predation mortality than faster growing conspecifics, even if they are the same size at a given moment. This “growth‐selective predation” mechanism was proposed as one of three functional mechanisms of the general “growthmortality” hypothesis in our previous study, which focused on the characteristics of the actually ingested larvae vs. the original populations. This talk summarizes our subsequent studies on predator‐specific “growth‐selective predation” and dynamics of the growth‐based survival mechanisms in Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) larvae in Sagami Bay, Japan. The mechanism was tested based on comparisons of growth rates between the ingested larvae from the stomachs of predatory fish and the surviving larvae from the original populations. Through this approach, predator‐specific “growth‐selective predation” was demonstrated by comparisons among different predatory species. Small pelagic fish were identified as growth‐selective predators, whereas piscivorous fish were identified as non‐growth‐selective predators. On the other hand, the three growth‐based survival mechanisms (“bigger is better”, “stage duration”, and “growth‐selective predation”) were tested for multiple cohorts of anchovy larvae based on the characteristics of the survivors vs. the original populations. As a result, each mechanism was detected to be effective at least in some cohorts, but none of the mechanisms was universally appropriate to all of the cohorts. The three different mechanisms actually regulated the short‐term survival processes independently and synergistically. The relative contributions of the mechanisms were dynamic although the “growth‐selective predation” was identified to be the major one regulating survival in anchovy larvae in the study site.

description: Wave localization is a ubiquitous phenomenon. It refers to situations that transmitted waves in scattering media are trapped in space and remain confined in the vicinity of the initial site until dissipated. Here we report a phase transition from acoustically extended to localized states in arrays of identical air-filled bubbles in water. It is shown that the acoustic localization in such media is coincident with the complete band gap of a lattice arrangement of the air-bubbles. When the localization or the band gap occurs, a peculiar collective behavior of the bubbles appears.

description: NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) inhibitors are proved as promising therapeutic agents against cancer. This study is to determine potent NAD(P)H dependent NQO1 inhibitors with new scaffold. Pharmacophore-based 3D QSAR model has been built based on 45 NQO1 inhibitors reported in the literature. The structure-function correlation coefficient graph represents the relationship between phase activity and phase predicted activity for training and test sets. A QSAR model statistics shows the excellent correlation of the generated model. Pharmacophore hypothesis (AARR) yielded a statistically significant 3D QSASR model with a correlation coefficient of r2= 0.99 as well as an excellent predictive power. From the analysis of pharmacophore-based virtual screening using by SPEC database, 4093 hits were obtained and were further filtered using virtual screening filters (HTVS, SP, XP) through structure based molecular docking. Based on glide energy and docking score, seven lead compounds show better binding affinity compared to the co-crystal inhibitor. The results of Induced Fit Docking and Prime/MM-GBSA suggest that leads AN-153/J117103 and AT-138/KB09997 binding with the catalytic site. Further, to understanding the stability of identified lead compounds MD simulations were done. The lead AN-153/J117103 showed the strong binding stable of the protein-ligand complex. Also the computed drug likeness reveals potential of this compound to treat cancer.

In this paper, we derive the two-point probability distribution of the stochastic process with correlated increments as well as the one of its inverse process, and present the Langevin description of Lévy walk with memory, i.e., correlated waiting times. Based on the built Langevin picture, the properties of aging and nonstationary are discussed. The Langevin system exhibits sub-ballistic superdiffusion if the friction force is involved, while it displays super-ballistic diffusion or hyperdiffusion if there is no friction. It is discovered that the correlation of waiting times suppresses the diffusion behavior whether there is friction or not, and the stronger the correlation of waiting times becomes, the slower the diffusion is. In particular, the correlation function, correlation coefficient, ergodicity, and scaling property of the corresponding stochastic process are also investigated.

description: The DNA promoter sequences domain theory and database have become popular for testing systems that integrate empirical and analytical learning. This note reports a simple change and reinterpretation of the domain theory in terms of M-of-N concepts, involving no learning, that results in an accuracy of 93.4% on the 106 items of the database. Moreover, an exhaustive search of the space of M-of-N domain theory interpretations indicates that the expected accuracy of a randomly chosen interpretation is 76.5%, and that a maximum accuracy of 97.2% is achieved in 12 cases. This demonstrates the informativeness of the domain theory, without the complications of understanding the interactions between various learning algorithms and the theory. In addition, our results help characterize the difficulty of learning using the DNA promoters theory.

Propagating torsion from first principles

description: A propagating torsion model is derived from the requirement of compatibility between minimal action principle and minimal coupling procedure in Riemann-Cartan spacetimes. In the proposed model, the trace of the torsion tensor is derived from a scalar potential that determines the volume element of the spacetime. The equations of the model are written down for the vacuum and for various types of matter fields. Some of their properties are discussed. In particular, we show that gauge fields can interact minimally with the torsion without the breaking of gauge symmetry.

description: This paper reports a practical approach for the stability testing of 37 veterinary drugs in stock standard solutions stored at −20°C for 1-3 years and the study of expiry date extension of 7 expired reference standard materials stored at 4°C. Stored stock solutions were compared versus freshly prepared stock solutions and concentrations determined using LC-MS/MS. The validity of expired reference materials was tested by new valid reference materials. LC-MS/MS method and parameters were optimised to get the maximum signal stability of the analytes. Statistical analysis was developed and performed to evaluate the stability results according to the acceptability criteria of 10% set by the European Commission guidance document SANTE/11813/2017. The stability of most of the stock solutions of the following veterinary drug families: β-agonists, illegal dyes, inhibitors, macrolides, penicillins, quinolones, sulfonamides and tetracyclines ranged from 12 to 36 months. β-Agonist compounds have the maximum stability period of 36 months while penicillin's stock solution in methanol showed the least stability. The results of testing the expiry date extension of reference standard materials demonstrated that there was no any deterioration of all tested compounds after manufacturer expiry date by 4–7 years.
Permutations Unlabeled beyond Sampling Unknown

description: A recent unlabeled sampling result by Unnikrishnan, Haghighatshoar and Vetterli states that with probability one over iid Gaussian matrices $A$, any $x$ can be uniquely recovered from an unknown permutation of $y = A x$ as soon as $A$ has at least twice as many rows as columns. We show that this condition on $A$ implies something much stronger: that an unknown vector $x$ can be recovered from measurements $y = T A x$, when the unknown $T$ belongs to an arbitrary set of invertible, diagonalizable linear transformations $\mathcal{T}$. The set $\mathcal{T}$ can be finite or countably infinite. When it is the set of $m \times m$ permutation matrices, we have the classical unlabeled sampling problem. We show that for almost all $A$ with at least twice as many rows as columns, all $x$ can be recovered either uniquely, or up to a scale depending on $\mathcal{T}$, and that the condition on the size of $A$ is necessary. Our proof is based on vector space geometry. Specializing to permutations we obtain a simplified proof of the uniqueness result of Unnikrishnan, Haghighatshoar and Vetterli. In this letter we are only concerned with uniqueness; stability and algorithms are left for future work.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We evaluated the effect of embryonic conditions and seasonal variability on traits and performance of early larval stages of the shore crab (Carcinus maenas). This is a predatory species native to the European coast, but a destructive invasive species elsewhere. We investigated the combined effects of temperature (15°C and 18°C) and salinity (25‰ and 35‰) experienced by embryos and larvae on biomass (elemental carbon and nitrogen), gene expression of Na+‐K+‐Cl–‐cotransporter, developmental rates and survival of zoea I stage obtained from females collected at different times of the year. There was a significant effect of season on carbon and nitrogen content of freshly hatched zoea I; higher body mass was associated with faster development and higher survival. Larvae hatched from females exposed to 25‰ had higher survival rates, and demonstrated higher carbon content and higher expression levels of the Na+‐K+‐Cl–‐cotransporter than those originating in females kept at 35‰. There was no significant effect of thermal stress (15°C) on larval performance under optimal osmotic conditions, but the combined effect of osmotic and thermal stress increased mortality and developmental rates. These results suggest that larval survival in C. maenas is the consequence of a complex interplay between seasonal variations, embryonic experience and the larval thermal and osmotic environment. These effects should be mediated by variations in the allocation of biomass into eggs and by the contribution of ion exchangers such as the Na+‐K+‐Cl–‐cotransporter to the embryonic osmotic environment.

Conflation

description: The present paper is an attempt to show some aspects of the organization of the LEXICON in two languages, namely, English and Mod Greek. Both of them seem to have constructions of the form NPI V NP2 ADJ. But note that such constructions in English can mean either: ‘NPI V NP2 when NP2 be ADJ’ or: ‘NPI V NP2 with the result that NP2 be ADJ’, whereas in Mod Greek, on the other hand, only the former interpretation is possible. In other words, resultative clauses like, for instance, the counterpart of the English sentence The blacksmith pounded the metal flat are normally unavailable in Mod Greek. The paper first examines the possibility of whether this is due to the inability of the Verb to θ-select the ADJ in Mod Greek. This approach to the problem, however, does not seem to be able to offer a principled account for the difference between English and Mod Greek, given that there are constructions of the form NPI V NP2 ADJ, where θ-selection, alias θ- marking, is possible in that language. A more plausible explanation is that English, but not Mod Greek, is capable of conflating more sub-meanings than Mod Greek into a single predicate. Thus, there are cases where English uses a single verb to render a complex meaning, whereas Mod Greek may need a periphrasis for the same job.

description: We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 90. Analysis of the resulting series yields very accurate estimates of the connective constant $μ=2.63815852927(1)$ (biased) and the critical exponent $α= 0.5000005(10)$ (unbiased). The critical point is indistinguishable from a root of the polynomial $581x^4 + 7x^2 - 13 =0.$ An asymptotic expansion for the coefficients is given for all $n.$ There is strong evidence for the absence of any non-analytic correction-to-scaling exponent.
