description: We use a combination of high spatial resolution optical and near-IR spectroscopic data to make a detailed study of the kinematics of the NLR gas in the near-nuclear regions of the powerful, FRII radio galaxy Cygnus A (z=0.0560), with the overall goal of placing limits on the mass of any supermassive black hole in the core. Our K-band infrared observations (0.75 arcsec seeing) -- taken with NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope -- show a smooth rotation pattern across the nucleus in the Paschen alpha and H_2 emission lines along a slit position (PA180) close to perpendicular to the radio axis, however, there is no evidence for such rotation along the radio axis (PA105). Higher spatial resolution observations of the [OIII]5007 emission line -- taken with STIS on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) -- confirm the general rotation pattern of the gas in the direction perpendicular to the radio axis, and provide evidence for steep velocity gradients within a radius of 0.1 arcsec of the core. The circular velocities measured from both the Keck and HST data lead to an estimate of the mass of the supermassive black hole of 2.5+/-0.7x10^9 solar masses. For the host galaxy properties of Cygnus A, this mass is consistent with the global correlations between black hole mass and host galaxy properties deduced for non-active galaxies. Therefore, despite the extreme power of its radio source and the quasar-like luminosity of its AGN, the black hole in Cygnus A is not unusually massive considering theluminosity of its host galaxy. Indeed, the estimated mass of the black hole in Cygnus A is similar to that inferred for the supermassive black hole in the FRI radio galaxy M87, despite the fact that the AGN and radio jets of Cygnus A are 2 -- 3 orders of magnitude more powerful.

description: The p90 ribosomal protein S6 Kinase (RSK) family belongs to Ser/Thr protein kinases that includes four isoform RSK1-4 in mammals. The ribosomal protein S6 Kinase 1 (RSK1) is also known as ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-1 (RPS6KA1) is a special protein due to their two catalytic regions that is associated with abundantly various cancers and it is proposed as a drug target. Several RSK1 isoform inhibitors have been reported but none of them are used in clinical studies. Thus, we aimed to perform ligand pharmacophore mapping with the known inhibitor and structure-based virtual screening studies to determine potential candidates against RSK1-terminal kinase domains CTKD and NTKD. The studied compounds from the databases (ApexBio, ChEMBL, ChemDiv). The molecular docking study was performed with the resulted candidates by using CDOCKER and Glide/SP methods. The four candidates with the highest docking scores were used for further 100-ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Molecular Mechanics Generalised Born and Surface Area (MM/GBSA) calculations. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) for protein complexes were found between 2 Å and 4 Å. Solvent accessible surface area (SASA), radius of gyration (Rg), and polar surface area (PSA) values were calculated for compounds. The binding free energies were calculated between −72.22 kcal/mol and −82.44 kcal/mol. The interaction diagrams showed that hydrogen bond, alkyl, and π-alkyl interactions were observed with specific residues such as Leu144, Lys94, Asp142 for RSK1-NTKD, and Cys532, Cys556, Lys447, Asn540 for RSK1-CTKD. The identified compounds may be potential inhibitor candidates of RSK1 following the preclinical studies.

description: Antimicrobial resistance is a pressing global health concern, underscoring the need for alternative treatments. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have shown promise in this regard, with maximin 1 being a cationic, amphipathic AMP possessing antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities with low hemolytic activity. In this study, we used molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the molecular basis for membrane selectivity of Maximin 1. By studying interactions between maximin 1 and different models of prokaryotic (anionic) and eukaryotic (zwitterionic) membranes, we found that Maximin 1 interacts more strongly with the prokaryotic membrane due to electrostatic attraction, while it weakly interacts with the zwitterionic eukaryotic membrane. Our simulations also revealed that Gly-1, Lys-5, Lys-11, Lys-15, and Lys-19 were identified to play a crucial role in the adsorption of maximin unto the prokaryotic membrane surface. The alpha-helical nature of the peptide, in addition to its amphipathic nature, was necessary for the adsorption of the peptide onto the surface of the prokaryotic membrane. Interestingly, the later transition of the alpha helix into a random coil was crucial in penetrating the prokaryotic membrane while hindering interactions with the eukaryotic membrane. Residues in the middle region of the peptide (residues 9–16) were also responsible for permeating the prokaryotic membrane over the eukaryotic membrane. These findings shed light on the peptide’s selective targeting of bacterial membranes over human cell membranes and could inform the design of more effective AMPs.

Parameter Estimation in the Hermitian and Skew-Hermitian Splitting Method Using Gradient Iterations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: This paper presents enhancement strategies for the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting method based on gradient iterations. The spectral properties are exploited for the parameter estimation, often resulting in a better convergence. In particular, steepest descent with early stopping can generate a rough estimate of the optimal parameter. This is better than an arbitrary choice since the latter often causes stability problems or slow convergence. Additionally, lagged gradient methods are considered as inner solvers for the splitting method. Experiments show that they are competitive with conjugate gradient in low precision.

description: In recent years a rise in glaciers equilibrium line, both in Colombia and Latin America has been observed. Glacier melting and retreat lead to a change in the availability of water, which largely affects agriculture, being it responsible for 10-14 percent of Colombian GDP. Using framed economic experimental games we studied the decisions made by farmers that depend on high-mountain water about water use and their response to institutions that facilitate adaptation to climate change. Results show that farmers react to reduction in water availability increasing the use of surface water from districts, ignoring that this source also depends on climatic conditions. When players face the possibility to adapt to climate change, they tend to invest in such strategies but consumption of water is not reduced. From the results, policy recommendations emerge about strategies for facing water scarcity in a climate-change scenario.

description: We present the results of deep VLT-ISAAC Ks-band imaging of four z~1.5 flat-spectrum quasars selected from the Parkes half-Jansky flat spectrum sample. We find that the hosts of these flat-spectrum quasars are consistent with lying on the K-z Hubble relation for radio galaxies. This implies that the flat-spectrum quasar hosts fall in line with the expectations from orientation based unified schemes and also that they contain black holes of similar mass. Moreover, the width of the Hbeta broad emission line in these objects tends to be narrower than in their misaligned (low-frequency selected quasar) counterparts, implying that the width of the Hbeta broad emission line depends on source inclination, at least for radio-loud quasars, in line with previous studies.

Cancer

description: The global frequency of colorectal cancer motivates extensive drug discovery efforts. CDK2, a key member of the CDK family, has been linked to tumor progression, unregulated cell proliferation, and growth promotion. Water-soluble flavonoids with a fast metabolism called anthocyanins have been shown to have a variety of pharmacological properties, including anti-cancer properties. This study aims to find possible CDK2 inhibitors from Anthocyanin-like molecules. Anthocyanins sourced from PubChem were screened using a virtual screening approach that included a KNIME workflow, QSAR-model, Pharmacophore hypothesis, and a structure-based screening to identify compounds with a better binding affinity and predicted bioactivity compared to the standard, Sorafenib. The top compounds were subjected to a 100 ns MD simulation to confirm their stability at the active site. Compounds 1–5 were shown to have higher binding affinity and bioactivity in this study. These substances interacted with the critical amino acids (LEU 83, ASP 145 and LYS 89) at CDK2's active site. Compared to the reference with a pIC50 value of 6.003 nM, the top compounds listed have superior predicted bioactivity ranging from 6.539 to 6.36 nM. Also, ADMET predictions predicted that Compounds 1–5 were not carcinogenic and not a p-glycoprotein substrate. MD simulation also validated Compound 1's stability at the active site compared to the standard. This study uncovers potential CDK2 inhibitors with good binding affinities, shedding light on their interactions with the target protein. While promising, further in vivo and in vitro investigations are essential to validate the anticancer potential of these compounds.

description: In this paper we study spectral properties of a three-dimensional Schrödinger operator $-Δ+V$ with a potential $V$ given, modulo rapidly decaying terms, by a function of the distance of $x \in \mathbb{R}^3$ to an infinite conical hypersurface with a smooth cross-section. As a main result we show that there are infinitely many discrete eigenvalues accumulating at the bottom of the essential spectrum which itself is identified as the ground-state energy of a certain one-dimensional operator. Most importantly, based on a result of Kirsch and Simon we are able to establish the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue counting function using an explicit spectral-geometric quantity associated with the cross-section. This shows a universal character of some previous results on conical layers and $δ$-potentials created by conical surfaces.

description: A nanoindenter was used to compress individual particles of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) ranging in diameter from 290 nm to 780 nm. The colloidal synthesis used to produce the particles enables the hydrogen content to be manipulated over a wide range, from about 5 at. % to 50 at. %, making these a-Si:H particles promising for applications in lithium ion batteries, hydrogen storage, and optical metamaterials. Force-displacement curves generated using a tungsten probe flattened with focused ion beam exhibited elastic and then plastic deformations, followed by fracture and crushing of the particles. For particles with 5% and 50% H, Young's moduli, yield strengths, and compressive strengths were 73.5(±19.5) GPa, 5.8 GPa, and 3.2(±0.1)–9.3(±0.6) GPa and 31.2(±9.0) GPa, 2.5 GPa, and 1.8 (±0.3)–5.3(±0.8) GPa, respectively. Particles with more hydrogen were significantly more compliant and weaker. This is consistent with atomistically detailed molecular dynamics simulations, which revealed compression forms of an interphase of H atom clusters that weakens the material.

description: This study offers a unique contribution to the literature by investigating the influential factors of energy-related carbon dioxide emission intensity among a panel of 30 provinces in China covering the period 1991-2010. We use novel spatial panel data models to analyze the drivers of energy-related emission intensity, which we posit are characterized by spatial dependence. Our results suggest: (1) emission intensities are negatively affected by per-capita, provincial-level GDP and population density; (2) emission intensities are positively affected by energy consumption structure and transportation structure; and (3) energy price has no effect on the emission intensities.

description: The thermodynamic properties of proton rich systems are explored in a mean field approach which is generated from a Skyrme interaction. The addition of Coulomb interactions result in asymmetries which modify the chemical and mechanical instability of the system and its equilibrium properties. These properties are studied for systems with proton fraction $y$ on the proton richer side of the valley of $β$-stability as well as the neutron rich side. Coulomb induced instabilities lead to proton diffusion processes on the proton richer side and also large asymmetries in chemical and mechanical instabilities and coexistence curves. Considering the whole range of $0 \le y \le 1$, we can study how the symmetry about $y=1/2$ is broken by asymmetric interaction and we can also explicitly show that the role between proton and neutron is exchanged around $y_E$. It is shown that there are two asymmetric coexistence surfaces in $(y, P, T)$ space, one for $y < y_E$ and another for $y > y_E$ and touching each other at $y_E$. These asymmetries in instabilities show up as new branches, one for $y < y_E$ and one for $y > y_E$, and thus form a closed loop in pressure versus $ρ$ for both chemical instability and coexistence regions. The branch of $y > 1/2 > y_E$ was not previously investigated since only the $y < 1/2$ region is usually considered. In our simplified model, mechanical instability is still symmetric around a point $y_E \ne 1/2$ even with Coulomb forces present.

description: Rhenium (+6) oxide (ReO3) is metallic in nature, which means it can sustain localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in its nanocrystalline form. Herein, we describe the colloidal synthesis of nanocrystals (NCs) of this compound, through a hot-injection route entailing the reduction of rhenium (+7) oxide with a long chain ether. This synthetic protocol is fundamentally different from the more widely employed nucleophilic lysing of metal alkylcarboxylates for other metal oxide NCs. Owing to this difference, the NC surfaces are populated by ether molecules through an L-type coordination along with covalently bound (X-type) hydroxyl moieties, which enables easy switching from nonpolar to polar solvents without resorting to cumbersome ligand exchange procedures. These as-synthesized NCs exhibit absorption bands at around 590 nm (∼2.1 eV) and 410 nm (∼3 eV), which were respectively ascribed to their LSPR and interband absorptions by Mie theory simulations and Drude modeling. The LSPR response arises from the oscillation of free electron density created by the extra Re d-electron per ReO3 unit in the NC lattice, which resides in the conduction band. Further, the LSPR contribution facilitates the observation of dynamic optical modulation of the NC films as they undergo progressive electrochemical charging via ion (de)insertion. Ion (de)insertion leads to distinct dynamic optical signatures, and these changes are reversible in a wide potential range depending on the choice of the ion (lithium or tetrabutylammonium). Nanostructuring in ReO3 and the description of the associated plasmonic properties of these NCs made this optical modulation feasible, which were hitherto not reported for the bulk material. We envisage that the synthetic protocol described here will facilitate further exploration of such applications and fundamental studies of these plasmonic NCs.

description: Relativistic jets of radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce highly directed, intense beams of radiation. A fraction of this beamed radiation scatters on the thermal plasma generally surrounding an AGN. The morphology of the scattered emission can thus provide constraints on the physical properties of the jet. We present a model to study the feasibility of constraining the parameters of a jet, especially its inclination angle and bulk Lorentz factor in this way. We apply our model to the well studied jet of M87 and the surrounding diffuse gas and find that the observational limits of the surface brightness measured in the region of the putative counterjet provide the tightest constraints on the jet parameters consistent with constraints derived by other methods. We briefly discuss the applicability of our model to other sources exhibiting relativistic motions

description: The Enterobacteriaceae family exhibits resistance to antibiotics by producing β-Lactamase. Mutations in β-Lactamase, have led to the generation of inhibitor resistant variants known as IR-TEM. In the present study, IR-TEM β-Lactamase of Enterobacter hormaechei and Enterobacter asburiae was compared. To investigate the mechanism behind the conferred mutation, we studied its interaction with Clavulanic acid, (β-Lactamase inhibitor) with different lineages of TEM and IR-TEM. We found that Clavulanic acid quickly left the binding pockets of both variants using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Interestingly, mutations at the V84I and A184V positions were found to drastically influence the protein dynamics. Mutating the residues at V84I and A184V positions by computational mutagenesis in Enterobacter hormaechei, it was observed that the residues on the Ω-loop as well as a few downstream residues were primarily involved in generating resistance towards inhibitors by conferring increased flexibility to the loop. This further strongly supports the notion that inhibitor resistance in β-Lactamase is conferred through allosteric regulation, wherein mutations in positions 84 and 184 may play an important role in regulating the movement of the Ω-loop. These two positions determine the lineage pattern between two clusters in TEM-1 and TEM-116. To date, no reports have been made regarding the importance of these mutations and their dynamics in Ω-loop.

Grüneisen Parameter and Thermal Expansion by the Self-Consistent Renormalization Theory of Spin Fluctuations

description: The thermal expansion coefficient $α$ and the Grüneisen parameter $Γ$ near the magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) are derived on the basis of the self-consistent renormalization (SCR) theory of spin fluctuation. From the SCR entropy, the specific heat $C_{V}$, $α$, and $Γ$ are shown to be expressed in a simple form as $C_{V}=C_{\rm a}-C_{\rm b}$, $α=α_{\rm a}+α_{\rm b}$, and $Γ=Γ_{\rm a}+Γ_{\rm b}$, respectively, where $C_{\rm i}$, $α_{\rm i}$, and $Γ_{\rm i}$ $({\rm i}={\rm a}, {\rm b})$ are related with each other. As the temperature $T$ decreases, $C_{\rm a}$, $α_{\rm b}$, and $Γ_{\rm b}$ become dominant in $C_{V}$, $α$, and $Γ$, respectively. The inverse susceptibility of spin fluctuation coupled to the volume $V$ in $Γ_{\rm b}$ is found to give rise to the divergence of $Γ$ at the QCP for each class of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism (AFM) in spatial dimensions $d=3$ and $2$. This $V$-dependent inverse susceptibility in $α_{b}$ and $Γ_{\rm b}$ contributes to the $T$ dependences of $α$ and $Γ$, and even affects their criticality in the case of the AFM QCP in $d=2$. $Γ_{\rm a}$ is expressed as $Γ_{\rm a}(T=0)=-\frac{V}{T_0}\left(\frac{\partial T_0}{\partial V}\right)_{T=0}$ with $T_0$ being the characteristic temperature of spin fluctuation, which has an enhanced value in heavy electron systems.

description: The transport properties of soft particle glasses, such as dynamic viscosity, normal stress coefficients, and shear-induced diffusivity of its particles, are determined by the microstructure of the suspension under flow. A thermodynamic measure of the microstructure is the excess entropy, which we show here accurately correlates the transport properties of soft particle glasses onto master curves across a wide range of volume fractions, suspending fluid viscosities, particle moduli, and shear rates. The excess entropy for soft particle glasses is approximated with the two-body excess entropy computed from the pair distribution function extracted from dynamic simulations. The shear viscosity and normal stress functions diverge and the diffusivity vanishes at a critical excess entropy, corresponding to the yield stress of the suspension. An effective temperature is computed and is found to vary linearly with the shear stress and the elastic energy of the sheared soft particle glass. From this, an equation of state is derived relating the excess entropy to the shear stress. Consequently, three of the four transport properties are determined from the measurement of just one. Finally, a single master curve of particle diffusivity versus excess entropy is presented that unifies observations for both equilibrium and nonequilibrium suspensions.

description: Isotropic pairwise interactions that promote the self-assembly of complex particle morphologies have been discovered by inverse design strategies derived from the molecular coarse-graining literature. While such approaches provide an avenue to reproduce structural corre- lations, thermodynamic quantities such as the pressure have typically not been considered in self-assembly applications. In this work, we demonstrate that relative entropy optimization can be used to discover potentials that self-assemble into targeted cluster morphologies with a prescribed pressure when the iterative simulations are performed in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble. The benefits of this approach are twofold. First, the structure and the thermodynamics associated with the optimized interaction can be controlled simultaneously. Second, by varying the pressure in the optimization, a family of interparticle potentials that all self-assemble the same structure can be systemati- cally discovered, allowing for a deeper understanding of self-assembly of a given target structure and providing multiple assembly routes for its realization. Selecting an appropriate simulation ensemble to control the thermodynamic properties of interest is a general design strategy that could also be used to discover interaction potentials that self-assemble structures having, for example, a specified chemical potential.
Key Features of the Coupled Hand-operated Balanced Manipulator (HOBM) and Lightweight Robot (LWR)

description: The paper deals with coupled systems including hand-operated balanced manipulators and lightweight robots. The aim of such a cooperation is to displace heavy payloads with less powerful robots. In other term, in the coupled system for handling of heavy payloads by a HOBM an operator is replaced by a LWR. The advantages of the coupled HOBM and LWR are disclosed and the optimal design of the cooperative workspace is discussed. Behavior of the coupled system in a static mode when the velocities the HOBM are limited does not present any special problems. In this mode, the inertial forces are significantly lower than the gravitational one. The payload is completely balanced by the HOBM and the LWR assumes the prescribed displacements with low load. However, in a dynamic mode, the HOBM with massive links creates additional loads on the LWR, which can be significant. The present study considers a method for determination of inertia effects of the HOBM on the LWR. The given numerical simulations show the significant increasing of the input torques due to the inertia forces of the HOBM. Behavior of the HOBM with cable lift and the LWR is also examined.
bb-bar Production Cross Section in 920 GeV p-N Collisions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The b-bbar production cross section in 920 GeV proton - nucleus collisions was obtained with the HERA-B detector, using a sample of 1.35 million of di-lepton triggered events taken during the 2000 physics run. The b-bbar events are identified via the inclusive decay b->J/psi, where the J/Psi mesons decay to mu+mu- or e+e-. The b events are separated from directly produced J/psi's by requiring that the J/psi decay vertex does not coincide with the primary vertex. The total measured cross section per nucleon, combining the results obtained in the two channels, is 32 +14 -12(stat) +6 -7(sys) nb/nucleon. The result is compared with the most recent QCD prediction and other experimental results. A much more precise measurement will be obtained from the 2002/2003 data.

description: The competitiveness of the European agricultural and food industries has been one of the key concerns of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) since its creation in 1958. This objective was reaffirmed in the proposals made for the CAP reform post-2013. Yet, this competitiveness became fragile during the last decade, as we can see in the increase of the EU-27 trade balance deficit from 7 to 11 billion between 2000 and 2009. In France, agricultural production has been stagnating for 15 years, productivity has failed to increase and imports of food and agricultural produce are progressing more rapidly than exports.

description: We develop a simple model to probe the ion transport and mechanical properties of low volume fraction colloidal nanoparticle gels. Specifically, we study the influence of the morphology of gels on ion diffusion and the corresponding roles of affinity to and enhanced ion transport along nanoparticle surfaces. We employ kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to simulate ion transport in the colloidal gels, and we perform nonequilibrium molecular dynamics to study their viscoelastic behavior. Our results indicate that in the presence of enhanced diffusion pathways for ions along the particle surface, morphology has a significant influence on the diffusivity of ions. We demonstrate that some gel morphologies can exhibit simultaneously enhanced ion transport and mechanical properties, thus illustrating a strategy to decouple ion transport and mechanical strength in electrolytes.
