description: We consider a resonant SIMP dark matter in models with two singlet complex scalar fields charged under a local dark $U(1)_D$. After the $U(1)_D$ is broken down to a $Z_5$ discrete subgroup, the lighter scalar field becomes a SIMP dark matter which has the enhanced $3\rightarrow 2$ annihilation cross section near the resonance of the heavier scalar field. Bounds on the SIMP self-scattering cross section and the relic density can be fulfilled at the same time for perturbative couplings of SIMP. A small gauge kinetic mixing between the SM hypercharge and dark gauge bosons can be used to make SIMP dark matter in kinetic equilibrium with the SM during freeze-out.

description: Pomegranate peel, the waste product generated from pomegranate fruit, has prophylactic properties, such as antimicrobial, anti-malarial, and controls respiratory infections and influenza. Based on the previous literature and need of the hour, molecular docking was performed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of major pomegranate peel polyphenols against COVID-19. Among the 44 studied compounds, 37 polyphenols show interaction with the catalytic dyad of the Mpro protease and 18 polyphenols have a higher binding affinity than that of the Mpro protease inhibitor (N3), indicating their high probability of binding at ACE2: SARS-CoV-2 interface. Furthermore, several polyphenols studied in this work are found to have higher binding affinity as compared to those of hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir, nelfinavir, and curcumin, some of which have been earlier tested against COVID-19. Further, molecular dynamics simulations (200 ns) for Mpro–polyphenols including pelargonidin3-glucoside, quercetin3-O-rhamnoside, cyanidin3-glucoside and punicalin revealed highly stable complexes with less conformational fluctuations and similar degree of compactness. Estimation of total number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and binding free energy confirmed the stability of these Mpro–polyphenol complexes over Mpro–curcumin complex. Based on the greater binding affinity of polyphenols of pomegranate peel towards Mpro as compared to that of curcumin, pomegranate peel may be considered in any herbal medicinal formulation or may be incorporated into daily diets for prevention of COVID-19.

description: Using an experimental setup designed to scan a submicron sized light spot and collect the photogenerated current through larger electrodes, we map the photovoltaic response in ferroelectric BiFeO3 single crystals. We study the effect produced by a unique 180{\textdegree} ferroelectric domain wall (DW) and show that the photocurrent maps are significantly affected by its presence and shape. The effect is large in its vicinity and in the Schottky barriers at the interface with the Au electrodes, but no extra photocurrent is observed when the illuminating spot touches the DW, indicating that this particular entity is not the heart of specific photo-electric properties. Using 3D modelling, we argue that the measured effect is due to the spatial distribution of internal fields which are significantly affected by the charge of the DW due to its distortion.

description: We study the potential employment of improper Gaussian signaling (IGS) in full-duplex cooperative settings with residual self-interference (RSI). IGS is recently shown to outperform traditional proper Gaussian signaling (PGS) in several interference-limited channel settings. In this work, IGS is employed in an attempt to alleviate the RSI adverse effect in full-duplex relaying (FDR). To this end, we derive a tight upper bound expression for the end-to-end outage probability in terms of the relay signal parameters represented in its power and circularity coefficient. We further show that the derived upper bound is either monotonic or unimodal in the relay's circularity coefficient. This result allows for easily locating the global optimal point using known numerical methods. Based on the analysis, IGS allows FDR systems to operate even with high RSI. It is shown that, while the communication totally fails with PGS as the RSI increases, the IGS outage probability approaches a fixed value that depends on the channel statistics and target rate. The obtained results show that IGS can leverage higher relay power budgets than PGS to improve the performance, meanwhile it relieves its RSI impact via tuning the signal impropriety.

description: We study the spectral and wavefunction properties of a one-dimensional incommensurate system with p-wave pairing and unveil that the system demonstrates a series of particular properties in its ciritical region. By studying the spectral statistics, we show that the bandwidth distribution and level spacing distribution in the critical region follow inverse power laws, which however break down in the extended and localized regions. By performing a finite-size scaling analysis, we can obtain some critical exponents of the system and find these exponents fulfilling a hyperscaling law in the whole critical region. We also carry out a multifractal analysis on system's wavefuntions by using a box-counting method and unveil the wavefuntions displaying different behaviors in the critical, extended and localized regions.

description: In the collective effort toward the decarbonization of anthropogenic activities and the attainment of a carbon-free society, critical minerals are recognized to be of significant importance in the transition process. As one of the critical minerals pivotal for the electrification of the transportation sector and making a constituent part of battery energy storage systems, lithium holds a major role in the transition process. Consequently, the demand for lithium in the upcoming decades is expected to increase, raising questions on how to source the mineral in a sustainable manner. One set of technologies, direct lithium extraction, emerges as a promising answer. To find out the technologies’ prospect, the paper considers two research questions: (I) How does the adoption of direct lithium extraction on brine deposits impact the environmental sustainability of lithium supply chains?, and (II) What are the challenges associated with integrating direct lithium extraction into existing lithium supply chains, and how can these challenges be overcome? With the means of an extensive literature review and invaluable input from interview partners, the answers to research questions are formulated through two parts of the paper. The first part deals with the working principles of both the prospective technologies and the currently commercially exercised method of the evaporitic technology. Subsequently, the paper compares between the technologies’ environmental footprints. The second part addresses the challenges direct lithium extraction technologies face on the path of commercialization, where the obstacles recognized are divided into three categories: economic, policy and geopolitical, and technical aspects. Following the assessment, the ensuing conclusions are made: first, the implementation of direct lithium technologies can provide sensibly greater sustainability of the lithium supply chains if brine water reinjection, fresh water recovery and reuse, and appropriate waste management are conducted; second, to facilitate the technologies’ proliferation and to attract investments, it is proposed that lithium is established as a commodity in commodity markets, applicable stringent water-related regulations established, and national policies endorsing the technologies set up. Notwithstanding direct lithium extraction’s potential, further research and development are necessary since not all technologies are equally environmentally sustainable or mature for commercial application.

description: We present here an Arabic report about supernova 1006 (SN 1006) written by the famous Persian scholar Ibn Sina (Lat. Avicenna, AD 980-1037), which was not discussed in astronomical literature before. The short observational report about a new star is part of Ibn Sina's book called al-Shifa', a work about philosophy including physics, astronomy, and meteorology. We present the Arabic text and our English translation. After a detailed discussion of the dating of the observation, we show that the text specifies that the transient celestial object was stationary and/or tail-less ("a star among the stars"), that it "remained for close to three months getting fainter and fainter until it disappeared", that it "threw out sparks", i.e. it was scintillating and very bright, and that the color changed with time. The information content is consistent with the other Arabic and non-Arabic reports about SN 1006. Hence, it is quite clear that Ibn Sina refers to SN 1006 in his report, given as an example for transient celestial objects in a discussion of Aristotle's "Meteorology". Given the wording and the description, e.g. for the color evolution, this report is independent from other reports known so far.

description: The use of the bacterial efflux pump mechanism to reduce the concentrations of antibiotics in the intracellular to the extracellular region is one of the main mechanisms by which bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics. The present study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the α,β-amyrin mixture isolated from Protium heptaphyllum against the multidrug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli 06 and Staphylococcus aureus 10, and to verify the inhibition of the efflux resistance mechanisms against the strains of S. aureus 1199B and K2068, carrying the NorA and MepA efflux pumps, respectively. The α,β-amyrin did not show clinically relevant direct bacterial activity. However, the α,β-amyrin when associated with the gentamicin antibiotic presented synergistic effect against the multidrug-resistant bacterial strain of S. aureus 10. In strains with efflux pumps, α,β-amyrin was able to inhibit the action of the efflux protein NorA against Ethidium Bromide. However, this inhibitory effect was not observed in the MepA efflux pump. In addition, when evaluating the effect of standard efflux pump inhibitors, clorptomazine and CCCP, α,β-amyrin showed a decrease in MIC, demonstrating the presence of the efflux mechanism through synergism. Docking studies indicate that α, β-amyrin have a higher affinity energy to MepA, and NorA than ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. Also, α, β-amyrin bind to the same region of the binding site as these antibiotics. It was concluded that the α, β-amyrin has the potential to increase antibacterial activity with the association of antibiotics, together with the ability to be a strong candidate for an efflux pump inhibitor.

description: Background Pulse oximetry has been used in medical care for decades. Its use quickly became standard of care in high resource settings, with delayed wide-spread availability and use in lower resource settings. Pulse oximetry training initiatives have been ongoing for years, but a map of the literature describing such initiatives among health care workers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has not previously been conducted. Additionally, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic further highlighted the inequitable distribution of pulse oximetry use and training. We aimed to characterise the landscape of pulse oximetry training for health care workers in LMICs prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as described in the literature. Methods We systematically searched six databases to identify studies reporting pulse oximetry training among health care workers, broadly defined, in LMICs prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two reviewers independently assessed titles and abstracts and relevant full texts for eligibility. Data were charted by one author and reviewed for accuracy by a second. We synthesised the results using a narrative synthesis. Results A total of 7423 studies were identified and 182 screened in full. A total of 55 training initiatives in 42 countries met inclusion criteria, as described in 66 studies since some included studies reported on different aspects of the same training initiative. Five overarching reasons for conducting pulse oximetry train?ing were identified: 1) anaesthesia and perioperative care, 2) respiratory support programme expansion, 3) perinatal assessment and monitoring, 4) assessment and monitoring of children and 5) assessment and monitoring of adults. Educational programmes varied in their purpose with respect to the types of patients being targeted, the health care workers being instructed, and the depth of pulse oximetry specific training. Conclusions Pulse oximetry training initiatives have been ongoing for decades for a variety of purposes, utilising a multitude of approaches to equip health care workers with tools to improve patient care. It is important that these initiatives continue as pulse oximetry availability and knowledge gaps remain. Neither pulse oximetry provision nor training alone is enough to bolster patient care, but sustainable solutions for both must be considered to meet the needs of both health care workers and patients.

description: An absorptive Rayleigh dielectric sphere in a non-diffracting non-paraxial fractional Bessel vortex beam experiences a spin torque. The axial and transverse radiation spin torque components are evaluated in the dipole approximation using the radiative correction of the electric field. Particular emphasis is given on the polarization as well as changing the topological charge and the beam's half-cone angle. When the beam order is zero, the axial spin torque component vanishes. However, when the beam order becomes a real positive number, the vortex beam induces left-handed (negative) axial spin torque as the sphere shifts off-axially from the center of the beam. The results show that a non-diffracting non-paraxial fractional Bessel vortex beam is capable to induce a spin reversal of an absorptive Rayleigh sphere placed arbitrarily in its path. Potential applications are yet to be explored in particle manipulation, rotation in optical tweezers, optical tractor beams, the design of optically-engineered metamaterials to name a few areas.

description: We have investigated structure formation in the $γ$ gravity $f(R)$ model with {\it N}-body simulations. The $γ$ gravity model is a proposal which, unlike other viable $f(R)$ models, not only changes the gravitational dynamics, but can in principle also have signatures at the background level that are different from those obtained in $Λ$CDM (Cosmological constant, Cold Dark Matter). The aim of this paper is to study the nonlinear regime of the model in the case where, at late times, the background differs from $Λ$CDM. We quantify the signatures produced on the power spectrum, the halo mass function, and the density and velocity profiles. To appreciate the features of the model, we have compared it to $Λ$CDM and the Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ models. For the considered set of parameters we find that the screening mechanism is ineffective, which gives rise to deviations in the halo mass function that disagree with observations. This does not rule out the model per se, but requires choices of parameters such that $|f_{R0}|$ is much smaller, which would imply that its cosmic expansion history cannot be distinguished from $Λ$CDM at the background level.

description: A partnership between the British Library and Alan Turing Institute with data scientists, curators, research software engineers, computational linguists, digital humanities scholars and historians from those institutions and universities including Exeter, University of East Anglia, Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London, the Living with Machines project is developing data science and AI methods to ask historical questions using digitised collections at scale. Our sources include millions of pages of historical newspapers, novels, maps, census records, directories and other sources. We hope that the research methodologies and tools developed through the project will be adapted and used by cultural heritage professionals and researchers to access and understand digitised historic collections in the future.

 This talk will outline why the British Library sought to collaborate with the UK's data science and AI institute. It will share some early methodological results from the project, and reflect on lessons learnt from working with an interdisciplinary team to apply data science methods for research questions in areas as varied as computational linguistics, human computing/crowdsourcing, historical analyses of space and time, data science and software engineering. It will also consider the implications of computational metadata generation or enhancement for existing cataloguing and discovery systems within the Library, and discuss our efforts to share work in progress with staff across the British Library.

description: BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard design of clinical research to assess interventions. However, RCTs cannot always be applied for practical or ethical reasons. To investigate the current practices in rare diseases, we review evaluations of therapeutic interventions in paediatric multiple sclerosis (MS) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). In particular, we shed light on the endpoints used, the study designs implemented and the statistical methodologies applied. METHODS: We conducted literature searches to identify relevant primary studies. Data on study design, objectives, endpoints, patient characteristics, randomization and masking, type of intervention, control, withdrawals and statistical methodology were extracted from the selected studies. The risk of bias and the quality of the studies were assessed. RESULTS: Twelve (seven) primary studies on paediatric MS (CJD) were included in the qualitative synthesis. No double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial for evaluating interventions in paediatric MS has been published yet. Evidence from one open-label RCT is available. The observational studies are before-after studies or controlled studies. Three of the seven selected studies on CJD are RCTs, of which two received the maximum mark on the Oxford Quality Scale. Four trials are controlled observational studies. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from double-blind RCTs on the efficacy of treatments appears to be variable between rare diseases. With regard to paediatric conditions it remains to be seen what impact regulators will have through e.g., paediatric investigation plans. Overall, there is space for improvement by using innovative trial designs and data analysis techniques.

description: Take-off and landing are the periods of a flight where aircraft are most vulnerable to a ground based rocket attack by terrorists. While aircraft approach and depart from airports on pre-defined flight paths, there is a degree of uncertainty in the trajectory of each individual aircraft. Capturing and characterizing these deviations is important for accurate strategic planning for the defence of airports against terrorist attack. A methodology is demonstrated whereby approach and departure trajectories to a given airport are characterized statistically from historical data. It uses a two-step process of first clustering to extract the common trend, and then modelling uncertainty using Gaussian Processes (GPs). Furthermore it is shown that this approach can be used to either select probabilistic regions of airspace where trajectories are likely and - if required - can automatically generate a set of representative trajectories, or select key trajectories that are both likely and critically vulnerable. An evaluation of the methodology is demonstrated on an example data-set collected by the ground radar at an airport. The evaluation indicates that 99.8% of the calculated footprint underestimates less than 5% when replacing the original trajectory data with a set of representative trajectories.

description: Dichlorvos or 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) (C4H7Cl2O4P) is a chlorinated organophosphorus pesticide, which is frequently detected in agricultural wastewater. Herein, a batch reactor was used to carry out the supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) of a synthetic wastewater containing dichlorvos as a very hazardous agricultural pollutant. To do so, the impact of four operating parameters including dichlorvos concentration (100–500 ppm), oxidant coefficient (0.7–2), temperature (300–500°C) and time (0–100 s) on dichlorvos removal was optimized by the response surface method (RSM). According to the obtained results, at optimal conditions (i.e. initial concentration of dichlorvos 107.5 ppm, oxidation ratio 1.9234, temperature 419.9°C and time 79.94 s), as an index for dichlorvos removal, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was found to be about 96.34%. Also, the results of high-performance liquid chromatography test showed that dichloroacetaldehyde (C2CL2H2O) and dichloroacetic acid (C2CL2H2O2) were created as intermediate substances during the dichlorvos degradation. Further, the molecular dynamics simulation was performed using ReaxFF force field to show the reaction path and products obtained in each step of the dichlorvos removal. Finally, as an indication, the simulation results indicated a good coordination with the experimental results.

description: Valleytronics rooted in the valley degree of freedom is of both theoretical and technological importance as it offers additional opportunities for information storage and electronic, magnetic and optical switches. In analogy to ferroelectric materials with spontaneous charge polarization in electronics, as well as ferromagnetic materials with spontaneous spin polarization in spintronics, here we introduce a new member of ferroic-family, i.e. a ferrovalley material with spontaneous valley polarization. Combining a two-band kp model with first-principles calculations, we show that 2H-VSe2 monolayer, where the spin-orbit coupling coexists with the intrinsic exchange interaction of transition-metal-d electrons, is such a room-temperature ferrovalley material. We further predict that such system could demonstrate many distinctive properties, for example, chirality-dependent optical band gap and more interestingly, anomalous valley Hall effect. On account of the latter, a series of functional devices based on ferrovalley materials, such as valley-based nonvolatile random access memory, valley filter, are contemplated for valleytronic applications.
