description: Phytochemical investigations on the EtOH extract of Clematis viticella led to the isolation of six flavonoid glycosides, isoorientin (1), isoorientin 3′-O-methyl ether (2), quercetin 7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (3), quercetin 3,7-di-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (4), manghaslin (5) and chrysoeriol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), one phenylethanol derivative, hydroxytyrosol (7), along with three phenolic acids, caffeic acid (8), (E)-p-coumaric acid (9) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (10). The structures of the isolates were elucidated on the basis of NMR and HR-MS data. All compounds were isolated from C. viticella for the first time. Compounds 7 and 8 showed significant anti-inflammatory activity at 100 μM by reducing the release of NO in LPS-stimulated macrophages comparable to positive control indomethacin. Compounds 3 and 7 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity through lowering the levels of TNF-α while 1, 3 and 5 decreased the levels of neopterin better than the positive controls.

description: The early stages of low-mass star formation are likely to be subject to intense ionization by protostellar energetic MeV particles. As a result, the surrounding gas is enriched in molecular ions, such as HCO$^{+}$ and N$_{2}$H$^{+}$. Nonetheless, this phenomenon remains poorly understood for Class 0 objects. Recently, based on Herschel observations taken as part of the key program Chemical HErschel Surveys of Star forming regions (CHESS), a very low HCO$^{+}$/N$_{2}$H$^{+}$ abundance ratio of about 3-4, has been reported toward the protocluster OMC-2 FIR4. This finding suggests a cosmic-ray ionization rate in excess of 10$^{-14}$ s$^{-1}$, much higher than the canonical value of $ζ$ = 3$\times$10$^{-17}$ s$^{-1}$ (value expected in quiescent dense clouds). To assess the specificity of OMC-2 FIR4, we have extended this study to a sample of sources in low- and intermediate mass. More specifically, we seek to measure the HCO$^{+}$/N$_2$H$^{+}$ abundance ratio from high energy lines (J $\ge$ 6) toward this source sample in order to infer the flux of energetic particles in the warm and dense gas surrounding the protostars. We use observations performed with the Heterodyne Instrument for the FarInfrared spectrometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory toward a sample of 9 protostars. We report HCO$^{+}$/N$_2$H$^{+}$ abundance ratios in the range of 5 up to 73 toward our source sample. The large error bars do not allow us to conclude whether OMC-2~FIR4 is a peculiar source. Nonetheless, an important result is that the measured HCO$^{+}$/N$_2$H$^{+}$ ratio does not vary with the source luminosity. At the present time, OMC-2 FIR4 remains the only source where a high flux of energetic particles is clearly evident. More sensitive and higher angular resolution observations are required to further investigate this process.

description: Using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, we investigate the isotropic-nematic phase transition for hard rods of size Lx1x1 on a 3D cubic lattice. We observe such a transition for L >= 6. For L = 6, the nematic state has a negative order parameter, reflecting the co--occurrence of two dominating orientations. For L >= 7, the nematic state has a positive order parameter, corresponding to the dominance of one orientation. We investigate rod lengths up to L = 25 and find evidence for a very weakly first-order isotropic-nematic transition, while we cannot completely rule out a second order transition. It was not possible to detect a density jump at the transition, despite using large systems containing several 10^5 particles. The probability density distributions P(Q) from the GCMC simulations near the transition are very broad, pointing to strong fluctuations. Our results complement earlier results on the demixing (pseudonematic) transition for an equivalent system in 2D, which is presumably of Ising--type and is present for L >= 7. We compare our results to lattice fundamental measure theory (FMT) and find that FMT strongly overestimates nematic order and consequently predicts a strong first order transition. The rod packing fraction of the nematic coexisting states, however, agree reasonably well between FMT and GCMC.

description: We prove that the group of almost-automorphisms of the infinite rooted regular $d$-ary tree $\mathcal{T}_d$ arises naturally as the Thompson-like group of a so called $d$-ary cloning system. A similar phenomenon occurs for any Röver-Nekrashevych group $V_d(G)$, for $G\le Aut(\mathcal{T}_d)$ a self-similar group. We use this framework to expand on work of Belk and Matucci, who proved that the Röver group, using the Grigorchuk group for $G$, is of type $F_\infty$. Namely, we find some natural conditions on subgroups of $G$ to ensure that $V_d(G)$ is of type $F_\infty$, and in particular we prove this for all $G$ in the infinite family of Šunić groups. We also prove that if $G$ is itself of type $F_\infty$ then so is $V_d(G)$, and that every finitely generated virtually free group is self-similar, so in particular every finitely generated virtually free group $G$ yields a type $F_\infty$ Röver-Nekrashevych group $V_d(G)$.

description: The effects of apigenin, a plant flavonoid, were investigated using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique on the function of the cloned α7 subunit of the human nicotinic acetylcholine (α7-nACh) receptor expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Currents induced by ACh (100 μM) were reversibly potentiated by apigenin with an EC50 value of 5.4 µM in a voltage-independent manner. In addition, potentiation by apigenin was significantly diminished by increasing ACh concentrations. Furthermore, apigenin (30 µM) did not alter the specific binding of [125I] α-bungarotoxin in oocyte membranes. Moreover, 30 µM apigenin also potentiated [3H] norepinephrine release evoked by nicotine (30 µM) in rat hippocampal slices. Finally, our docking studies carried out for apigenin on nicotinic α7-nACh receptors suggest that apigenin binds to the transmembrane region of the receptor as an allosteric modulator. Taken together, our results indicate that apigenin allosterically potentiates the function of the human α7-nACh receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes and hippocampal slices.

description: We present a complete (non-redundant) basis of CP- and flavour-conserving six-dimensional operators in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM). We include Z_2-violating operators as well. In such a 2HDM effective field theory (2HDMEFT), we estimate how constraining the 2HDM parameter space from experiments can get disturbed due to these operators. Our basis is motivated by the strongly interacting light Higgs (SILH) basis used in the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT). We find out bounds on combinations of Wilson coefficients of such operators from precision observables, signal strengths of Higgs decaying into vector bosons etc. In 2HDMEFT, the 2HDM parameter space can play a significant role while deriving such constraints, by leading to reduced or even enhanced effects compared to SMEFT in certain processes. We also comment on the implications of the SILH suppressions in such considerations.

description: For many years, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was considered an almost perfectly safe material, but in 2017, reports surfaced of pulmonary toxicity in workers who had handled crosslinked PAA particles at a Japanese factory. To elucidate the chemical compositions and physical properties that are responsible for the PAA’s pulmonary toxicity and to design safer PAA materials, we synthesized four PAAs for the present study by chemically analyzing a PAA’s crosslinker, performing a diameter measurement of a commercial PAA product, and then varying the PAA’s crosslinker content. All the four synthesized PAAs were associated with inflammatory responses and fibrosis formation in rats through a single intratracheal administration of the PAAs, and the crosslinker content was revealed to be an important factor contributing to serious inflammation and long-lasting fibrosis in the lungs.

description: The assumption of a single astrophysical power-law flux to explain the IceCube 6-year HESE extraterrestrial events yields a large spectral index that is in tension with gamma-ray observations and the 6-year up-going muon neutrinos data. Adopting a spectral index belonging to the range $\left[2.0,2.2\right]$, which is compatible with the one deduced by the analysis performed on the 6-year up-going muon neutrinos data and with $p$-$p$ astrophysical sources, the latest IceCube data show an up to $2.6\,σ$ excess in the number of events in the energy range 40--200 TeV. We interpret such an excess as a decaying Dark Matter signal and we perform a likelihood-ratio statistical test to compare the two-component scenario with respect to the single-component one.

description: The increasing availability and adoption of shared vehicles as an alternative to personally-owned cars presents ample opportunities for achieving more efficient transportation in cities. With private cars spending on the average over 95\% of the time parked, one of the possible benefits of shared mobility is the reduced need for parking space. While widely discussed, a systematic quantification of these benefits as a function of mobility demand and sharing models is still mostly lacking in the literature. As a first step in this direction, this paper focuses on a type of private mobility which, although specific, is a major contributor to traffic congestion and parking needs, namely, home-work commuting. We develop a data-driven methodology for estimating commuter parking needs in different shared mobility models, including a model where self-driving vehicles are used to partially compensate flow imbalance typical of commuting, and further reduce parking infrastructure at the expense of increased traveled kilometers. We consider the city of Singapore as a case study, and produce very encouraging results showing that the gradual transition to shared mobility models will bring tangible reductions in parking infrastructure. In the future-looking, self-driving vehicle scenario, our analysis suggests that up to 50\% reduction in parking needs can be achieved at the expense of increasing total traveled kilometers of less than 2\%.

description: We consider the full effective theory for quantum gravity at second order in curvature including non-local terms. We show that the theory contains two new degrees of freedom beyond the massless graviton: namely a massive spin-2 ghost and a massive scalar field. Furthermore, we show that it is impossible to fine-tune the parameters of the effective action to eliminate completely the classical spin-2 ghost because of the non-local terms in the effective action. Being a classical field, it is not clear anyway that this ghost is problematic. It simply implies a repulsive contribution to Newton's potential. We then consider how to extract the parameters of the effective action and show that it is possible to measure, at least in principle, the parameters of the local terms independently of each other using a combination of observations of gravitational waves and measurements performed by pendulum type experiments searching for deviations of Newton's potential.

description: We use an efficient projection scheme for the Fock operator to analyze the size dependence of silicon quantum dots (QDs) electronic properties. We compare the behavior of hybrid, screened hybrid and local density functionals as a function of the dot size up to $\sim$800 silicon atoms and volume of up to $\sim$20nm$^3$. This allows comparing the calculations of hybrid and screened hybrid functionals to experimental results over a wide range of QD sizes. We demonstrate the size dependent behavior of the band gap, density of states, ionization potential and HOMO level shift after ionization. Those results are compared to experiment and to other theoretical approaches, such as tight-binding, empirical pseudopotentials, TDDFT and GW.
Anisotropic Excitons and their Contributions to Shift Current Transients in Bulk GaAs

description: Shift current transient are obtained for near band gap excitation of bulk GaAs by numerical solutions of the semiconductor Bloch equations in a basis obtained from a 14 band k.p model of the band structure. This approach provides a transparent description of the optically induced excitations in terms of interband, intersubband, and intraband excitations which enables a clear distinction between different contributions to the shift current transients and fully includes resonant as well as off-resonant processes. Using a geodesic grid in reciprocal space in our numerical solutions, we are able to include the electron-hole Coulomb attraction in combination with our anisotropic three-dimensional band structure. We obtain an excitonic absorption peak and an enhancement of the continuum absorption and demonstrate that the excitonic wave function contains a significant amount of anisotropy. Optical excitation at the excitonic resonance generates shift current transients of significant strength, however, due to the electron-hole attraction the shift distance is smaller than for above band gap excitation. We thus demonstrate that our approach is able to provide important information on the ultrafast electron dynamics on the atomic scale.

In-grade testing of Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) to enable characterisation of the timber

description: This report deals with an investigation into the structural properties of the timber species, Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) to enable characterisation of the timber. The various structural properties (bending stress, shear stress, compressive stress, tensile stress and Modulus of Elasticity) are determined by full-scale (in -grade) testing procedures.
Full-size specimens were tested at the University of Central Queensland in Rockhampton and NSW State Forests Research facility at Pennant Hills in Sydney.
The timber is being used on Norfolk Island as a structural and decorative timber. Because it is a limited but renewable resource, optimum use needs to be made of it as a building material to make maximum use of the material. Presently Norfolk Island has an inverse balance of payments with timber products, the vast majority of which is imported New Zealand radiata pine. If this balance of payments is to be reversed, better utilisation needs to be made of the locally produced timber. Implied in this also is improved utilisation of local labour and industry in producing the local product.
No significant testing has been done in the past on Norfolk Island pine. The only technical references to it in the literature appears to be in the botanical and silvicultural context. One author has given the material a provisional grading only (this would be based on small clear specimens, possibly not even produced on Norfolk Island).
It is only with rigorous full-scale testing of the product that its structural properties can be determined with any confidence so as to make better use of it as a building material.
This thesis reports on such testing of full-size, randomly selected, locally -produced specimens. The work is undertaken in accordance with the recent joint AS/NZ Standard AS 4063:1992. It is believed that this is the first work of this type that has been undertaken on this material.
The results are varied, indicating relatively higher shear and compressive strengths but, by comparison, lower bending and tensile strengths and Modulus of Elasticity. Without doubt, the timber is weakest in tension (some 3 grades below its equivalent compression classification). Careful selection will need to be made of the timber for applications where it is in tension.
The relatively close spacing of the knots appears to have strong influence on reduced strength. If the knots can be reduced by improved silvicultural techniques or eliminated in post-harvesting/milling operations, such as excising the knots and re -jointing (eg finger - jointing) then a much improved product could be obtained.

description: In the diffraction pattern produced by a half-plane sharp edge when it obstructs the passage of a laser beam, two characteristic regions are noticeable. There is a central region, where it can be noticed the diffraction of laser light in the region of geometric shadow, while intensity oscillations are observed in the non-obstructed area. On both sides of the edge, there are also very long light traces along the normal to the edge of the obstacle. The theoretical explanation to this phenomenon is based on the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory applied to the Gaussian beam propagation behind the obstacle. Here we have supplemented this explanation by considering electromagnetic flow lines, which provide a more complete interpretation of the phenomenon in terms of electric and magnetic fields and flux lines, and that can be related, at the same time, with average photon paths.

description: After gaining independence, our country began to form its independent position in the fight against crime. In this regard, it is recognized that it is better to prevent crimes than to expose the culprits, punish them, compensate for the damages caused to the victims, and ensure the execution of punishments, and comprehensive reforms in the judicial and legal sphere have been implemented. Crime prevention has become a priority in our country's fight against crime. This was also reflected in the newly adopted laws, amendments and additions to the laws during the years of independence.

description: Motivated by experimental observations of time-symmetry breaking behavior in a periodically driven (Floquet) system, we study a one-dimensional spin model to explore the stability of such Floquet discrete time crystals (DTCs) under the interplay between interaction and the microwave driving. For intermediate interactions and high drivings, from the time evolution of both stroboscopic spin polarization and mutual information between two ends, we show that Floquet DTCs can exist in a prethermal time regime without the tuning of strong disorder. For much weak interactions the system is a symmetry-unbroken phase, while for strong interactions it gives its way to a thermal phase. Through analyzing the entanglement dynamics, we show that large driving fields protect the prethermal DTCs from many-body localization and thermalization. Our results suggest that by increasing the spin interaction, one can drive the experimental system into optimal regime for observing a robust prethermal DTC phase.

Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be at risk for development of COVID-19 infection due to innate immune dysfunction and/or immunosuppressive medication use. Methods: In a prospective cohort of adult IBD patients, we captured data on clinical risk factors and IBD medication utilization. The outcome of interest was development of patient-reported laboratory confirmed COVID-19. We calculated incidence rate and performed bivariate analyses to describe the effects of risk factors (age, immunosuppression use, obesity, and race) on development of COVID-19. We utilized logistic regression models to determine the independent risks associated with each factor. Results: A total of 3953 patients with IBD were followed for a mean duration of 212 days (SD 157). A total of 103 individuals developed COVID-19 during follow-up (2.6%, rate of 45 per 1000 person-years). Severity of infection was generally mild. Clinical characteristics were similar among those who developed COVID-19 as compared to not. African American race was associated with incident COVID-19 infection (OR 3.37, 95% CI 1.18-9.59). Immunosuppression use was not associated with development of COVID-19 (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.72-1.75), nor was age (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.02), nor obesity (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.61-1.66). Conclusions: Immunosuppression use did not increase the risk of development of COVID-19. Therapeutic management of IBD should not be altered to prevent a risk of developing COVID-19.

description: For any reduced free product $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra $(A, φ) =(A_1, φ_1) \star (A_2, φ_2)$, we prove a boundary rigidity result for the embedding of $A$ into its associated $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra $Δ\mathbf{T}(A, φ)$. This provides new examples of rigid embeddings of exact $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras into purely infinite simple nuclear $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras.

description: By virtue of their regulatory role in the biological process, certain protein–protein complexes form potential targets for designing and discovery of drugs. Alteration set in the controlled formation of such complexes results in dysregulation of several metabolic processes, leading to diseased condition. β-catenin/Tcf4 complex is one such protein–protein complex found altered in colorectal epithelial cells resulting in activation of target genes leading to cancer. Recently, certain lignans from seeds of the oil crop sesame were found inhibiting initiation and progression of this type of cancer. Molecular mechanism involved in the process, however, is not yet known. By an in silico study, we present here a possible mechanism of interaction between the sesame lignans and β-catenin leading to inhibition of formation of the said complex, thereby elevating some of these ligands as potential lead molecules in the development of drugs for treatment of colon cancer. To achieve this objective, we performed docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and binding free energy analysis of target–ligand complexes. Using computational alanine scanning approach, the key pocket residues of β-catenin that interact with Tcf4 in the formation of complex were identified. The test molecules were initially evaluated for their drug-like properties by application of Lipinski’s rule of five. Results of this study revealed that Sesamin, a furofuran lignan from sesame, has the highest affinity for β-catenin particularly with its residues that interact with Tcf4 and thus serving as a potential lead molecule for development of a drug for colon cancer.

description: A generalisation of the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model for coupled-cavity arrays is introduced, where the embedded two-level system in each cavity is replaced by a $Ξ$-type three-level system. We demonstrate that the resulting effective polariton-polariton interactions at each site are both two-body and three-body. By tuning the ratio of the two transition dipole matrix elements, we show that the strength and sign of the two-body interaction can be controlled whilst maintaining a three-body repulsion. We then proceed to demonstrate how different two-body and three-body interactions alter the mean field superfluid-Mott insulator phase diagram, with the possible emergence of a pair superfluid phase in the two-body attractive regime.

description: Graphite anodes with high areal loading of 3.6 mAh cm-2 were laser structured with various design patterns using an ultrashort pulsed laser system of high average power (>300 W). The upscaling potential of the most common pattern types in literature, namely the line, grid, and hexagonal hole pattern were evaluated and the influence of process parameters like laser fluence and repetition rate on the ablation characteristics were examined. The fast-charging capability of full-cells containing structured graphite anodes were studied with NMC622 cathodes. For each structure pattern the onset of lithium plating during fast-charging was determined by differential voltage analysis of the voltage relaxation.

description: Background: Student engagement (SE) in the curriculum is a positive indicator in the development of students deeply involved in their learning. It also has several benefits for the schools’ level of educational innovation and quality assurance. Method: In order to identify the most important pearls from the last decade of educational developments within the field of SE at the Faculty of Medicine University of Maribor, we searched through our school’s archives, publications and research in the field of medical education. Results: Three areas were identified as the most important SE complements: (i) peer teaching, (ii) school governance, and (iii) extracurricular activities. The paper highlights how many student-driven initiatives move from informal frameworks toward a formal structure, elective courses, and, in the end, compulsory components of the curriculum. Discussion: As demonstrated by the three educational achievements at our school, fostering a high level of SE can lead to innovative curricular changes, benefit the whole school and enable students to deliver highly impactful extracurricular projects.

Expectations for the muon g-2 in simplified models with dark matter

description: We investigate simplified models of new physics that can accommodate the measured value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the relic density of dark matter. We define a set of renormalizable, SU(2)$\times$U(1) invariant extensions of the Standard Model, each comprising an inert $Z_2$-odd scalar field and one or more vector-like pairs of colorless fermions that communicate to the muons through Yukawa-type interactions. The new sectors are classified according to their transformation properties under the Standard Model gauge group and all models are systematically confronted with a variety of experimental constraints: LEP mass bounds, direct LHC searches, electroweak precision observables, and direct searches for dark matter. We show that scenarios featuring only one type of new fermions become very predictive once the relic density and collider constraints are taken into account, as in this case $g-2$ is not enhanced by chirality flip. Conversely, for models where an additional source of chiral-symmetry violation is generated via fermion mixing, the constraints are much looser and new precision experiments with highly suppressed systematic uncertainties may be required to test the parameter space.
